Summary:	"Dealing with the most topical questions of the time, Sofia Tolstaya's artistic works--from parables to short stories, novellas, and memoirs--show deep insights into the historical context of nineteenth century Russia. In his lengthy review of My Life (along with other Tolstaya publications) in Canadian Slavonic Papers, the eminent Tolstoy scholar Hugh McLean (2011) laments the fact that it has taken so long (almost a century after her death) to focus scholarly attention on Sofia Tolstaya, and that there has been no unified publication of her works, scattered as they are among dated journals or not published at all. This book aims to help fill this lacuna (in part) by (a) offering a critical introduction to her literary output, as a writer in her own right, and (b) presenting for the first time an anthology of her main artistic works, some in fresh English translation, others that have never been translated before."--

Description
Summary:	Dealing with the most topical questions of the time, Sofia Tolstaya's artistic works--from parables to short stories, novellas, and memoirs--show deep insights into the social context of nineteenth-century Russia. In his lengthy review of My Life (along with other Tolstaya publications) in Canadian Slavonic Papers, the eminent Tolstoy scholar Hugh McLean (2011) laments the fact that it has taken so long (almost a century after her death) to focus academic attention on Sofia Tolstaya, and that there has been no unified publication of her works, scattered as they are among dated journals or not published at all. This book aims to help fill this lacuna by offering a critical introduction to her literary output as a writer in her own right, and presenting, for the first time, an anthology of her main artistic works, some in fresh English translation, and others never translated before.
