The Russian novel, more than any other genre, has contributed to the fame that Russian literature enjoys abroad. Even though Russian poetry stands at the same level as the novel, it has fared less well, undoubtedly because of the difficulty of adequate translation. The short story, except for Chekhov, Babel, and a few others, has never reached the heights of the novel. It is no coincidence that some of the greatest among Russian writers—Gogol, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy, for example—are best known as novelists. It is not surprising, therefore, that scores of books and an untold number of essays have been written about the Russian novel in all languages. The book under review represents a collection of such essays, written for the most part by Slavists teaching at American universities
