Dostoevsky and the Brothers Karamazov

The book begins with a survey of all of Dostoevsky&rsquo;s important works up until the time he began writing The Brothers Karamazov in order to suggest not only the development of his artistic maturity but the development of his religious thought, which culminates in The Brothers Karamazov. The following chapters analyze the major characters, including Dmitri, Ivan, and Alyosha, as well as lesser characters like Father Zossima, Old Karamazov, Rakitin, Captain Snegiryov, Katerina, Smerdyakov, and Grushenka in order to suggest the powerful dialectic in the novel which becomes a ringing defense of Christianity. Such repeated statements as Ivan&rsquo;s conclusion that &ldquo;If there is no God-and-immortality, there is no virtue and everything is lawful&rdquo; and &ldquo;man is not good enough to get along without God&rdquo; are representative of Dostoevsky&rsquo;s beliefs and are illustrated in the plot of the novel time and again, including the famous Legend of the Grand Inquisitor. The book also includes a chapter entitled &ldquo;Comrade Dostoevsky,&rdquo; which describes how badly Dostoevsky fared during the Soviet regime, and it ends with the chapter entitled &ldquo;Dostoevsky and the Contemporary World,&rdquo; which suggests the relevance of his thinking to the 21st century.

History & Criticism

Literature: Its Opponents and Its Power

Literature examines the declining influence of the literary arts in America particularly during the last half century and attempts to analyze the problem by calling attention to four particular threats which appear to be besieging them. They are: (1) the replacing of the authority of the imagination by the authority of the sciences; (2) the rise of certain literary and critical theories in recent decades which have seriously weakened the study of literature in both the schools and the colleges; (3) problems in producing fully literate high school graduates, largely as a result of faulty methods of teaching reading and doubtful philosophical principles which have seriously weakened the study of literature in the schools; and (4) the threat of the electronic age to the preservation of the printed page upon which literature depends for its very survival. All of these forces have served to trivialize literature and are on their way to destroying it as a major cultural force in modern America. This book also attempts to redeem literature, and to help restore literature as a major discipline, superior in importance to other disciplines, by offering a theory of literature which will demonstrate that literature is in fact, as Sir Philip Sidney insisted, "the highest form of earthly learning."
