Ghostly Paradoxes ;s an innovative work of literary scholarship that traces the reactions of Russia's major realist authors to spiritualist events and doctrines and demonstrates that both movements can be understood only when examined together."--Jacket.Russian literature19th centuryHistory and criticismLiterature and spiritualismRussiaRealism in literatureSpiritualismRussiaHistory19th centuryRussiaHistoryAlexander II, 1855-1881RussiaIntellectual life1801-1917Criticism, interpretation, etc.fastHistory.fastRussian literatureHistory and criticism.Literature and spiritualismRealism in literature.SpiritualismHistory891.709003cci1icclaccVinit͡skiĭ I.
