Abstract:

Discusses the Russian-language edition of Donna Orwin’s book about Turgenev, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy, which came out this year with Academic Studies Press / Bibliorossika. The reviewer considers this book’s publication in Russian a significant scholarly contribution as well as an important reminder of the cultural entanglements among Russia, Europe, and North America. Orwin’s Consequences of Consciousness provides its readers with a comprehensive account of the cultural and philosophical circumstances that gave rise to Russian psychological realism, and offers innovative readings of key literary texts that demonstrate the dynamic dialogue among the three authors who established the genre.
