Despite his clever attempts to call his readers' attention to these introductions, they have been neglected as an object of study for over 150 years. That oversight is rectified in First Words, the first systematic study of Dostoevsky's introductions. Using Genette's typology of prefaces and Bakhtin's notion of multiple voices, Lewis Bagby reveals just how important Dostoevsky's first words are to his fiction. Dostoevsky's ruses, verbal winks, and backward glances indicate a lively and imaginative author at earnest play in the field of literary discourse. 410 0$aUnknown nineteenth century. 606 $aPrefaces$xHistory and criticism 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 610 $aArts 610 $aLiterary Criticism 610 $aFyodor Dostoevsky 610 $aHouse of the Dead (film) 610 $aImplied author 610 $aNikolai Gogol 610 $aNotes from Underground 610 $aThe Brothers Karamazov 615 0$aPrefaces$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a891.733 700 $aBagby$b Lewis$f1944-$0983475 712 02$aNational Endowment for the Humanities and The Andrew W.
