| Synopsis: |
George Steiner's "Tolstoy or Dostoevsky" has become a classic among scholars of Russian literature. An essay in poetic and philosophic criticism that bears mainly on the Russian masters, "Tolstoy or Dostoevsky" deals also with larger themes: the epic tradition extending from Homer to Tolstoy; the continuity of a 'tragic world view' from Oedipus Rex to King Lear and The Brothers Karamazov; the contrasts between the epic and dramatic modes, between irreconcilably opposed views of God and of history. |
