About this book
The growing influence of Russian writing supplies the starting point for Lilian Winstanley's portrait of Leo Tolstoy. She considers literary candour, compassion and the psychological novel, placing his work within a wider discussion of Russian authors. The contents connect his life with his writing through chapters on childhood, peasant schools, marriage and changes in religious belief. War and Peace and Anna Karénina each receive a separate chapter.
In the discussion of Anna, Winstanley examines how warmth, sympathy and strong feeling meet the pressures of marriage and social judgment. Her attention to relationships shows the method of a critic who explains moral concerns through particular characters and situations. Further chapters address Tolstoy's writings on religion and art, followed by a consideration of his influence and a bibliography. Readers seeking an introduction to both the writer and the questions raised by his books can follow biography and literary interpretation together.
