Description:
In considering Dostoevsky's 'The Idiot', a novel less easily defined in terms of plot and ideas than his other major fictional works, Sarah Young addresses problems in the novel unresolved by previous interpretations, and in doing so fills a significant gap in Dostoevsky studies.
Review Quotes: 'A truly outstanding and original piece of work.' Robin Feuer Miller, Edytha Macy Gross Professor of Humanities, Brandeis University
