An extensive study of the development of Dostoevsky's creative art and intellectual thought by an analysis in depth of the total corpus of his writings.Ernest J. Simmons
This work is an extensive study of the development of Dostoevsky's creative art and intellectual thought by an analysis in depth of the total purpose of his writings. All the facts of his life and literary activity related to this purpose are skillfully employed. In order to establish a unified and comprehensible pattern of artistic and intellectual development, Mochulsky constantly elucidates in his study the psychological and the existential meaning of Dostoevsky's religious ideology.&#!51; The New York Times
