Revisiting Russian Radicals is a collection of ten articles that seeks to promote a revisitation of the Russian Radicals who have been somewhat unjustly forgotten in the aftermath of the fall of the Soviet Union. Rather than viewing the radicals through the lens of the 1917 October Revolution, the authors seek to analyze them on their own terms and explore new aspects of their legacy. The chapters provide a fresh look at some well-known radicals like Chernyshevsky, Dobrolyubov, and Pisarev as well as examinations of lesser-known figures, and offer an interdisciplinary approach to their investigations, combining historical and literary analysis. A lengthy introduction is included for those who are non-Slavists, and for the newer generation of Slavists who may not be as familiar with these figures.

Reviews for Revisiting Russian Radicals

This excellent collection of essays not only revisits, but also rethinks, revises, and rediscovers the radical critics of mid-nineteenth-century Russian literature. It includes provocative studies of familiar figures (Dobrolyubov, Chernyshevsky, and Pisarev), as well as new work on lesser-known critics (Kushchevsky, Osipovich-Novodvorsky, and others). It is both an illuminating and refreshing read… -- Michael R. Katz, C.V. Starr Professor Emeritus, Middlebury College
