As mature artists, they led very different lives and wrote vastly different works, but their early lives and writings display provocative kinships, while also indicating the divergent paths the two authors would take en route to literary greatness. The ten new critical essays here, written by leading specialists in nineteenth-century, Russian literature, give fresh, sophisticated readings to works from the first decade of the literary life of each Russian author-for Dostoevsky, the 1840's; for Tolstoy, the 1850's. Collectively, these essays yield composite portraits of these two artists as young men finding their literary way. At the same time, they show how the early works merit appreciation for themselves, before their authors were Titans. 410 0$aArs Rossika. 606 $aRussian literature$y19th century$xCriticism and interpretation 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Russian & Former Soviet Union$2bisacsh 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 615 0$aRussian literature$xCriticism and interpretation. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Russian & Former Soviet Union. 676 $a891.733 702 $aAllen$b Elizabeth Cheresh$f1951- 702 $aGrave$b Ivan Platonovich$f1874-1960, 712 02$aNational Endowment for the Humanities and The Andrew W.
