In March 1881, Russia stunned the world when a small band of revolutionaries calling themselves'terrorists'assassinated the Tsar-Liberator, Alexander II. Horrified Russians blamed the influence of European political and social ideas, while shocked Europeans perceived something new and distinctly Russian in a strategy of political violence that became known the world over as'terrorism'or'the Russian method.'Lynn Ellen Patyk contends that the prototype for the terrorist was the Russian writer, whose seditious word was interpreted as an audacious deed?and a violent assault on autocratic authority. The interplay and interchangeability of word and deed, Patyk argues, laid the semiotic groundwork for the symbolic act of violence at the center of revolutionary terrorism. While demonstrating how literary culture fostered the ethos, pathos, and image of the revolutionary terrorist and terrorism, she spotlights Fyodor Dostoevsky and his'terrorism trilogy'?Crime and Punishment (1866), Demons (1870?73), and The Brothers Karamazov (1878?80)?as novels that uniquely illuminate terrorism's methods and trajectory. Deftly combining riveting historical narrative with penetrating literary analysis of major and minor works, Patyk's groundbreaking book reveals the power of the word to spawn deeds and the power of literature to usher new realities into the world."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aRussian literature$xPolitical aspects 606 $aTerrorism$zRussia$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aTerrorism in literature 615 0$aRussian literature$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aTerrorism$xHistory 615 0$aTerrorism in literature. 676 $a891.70935847081 700 $aPatyk$b Lynn Ellen$01568046 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795929703321 996 $aWritten in blood$93839885 997 $aUNINA
