About this book
Uncovers archetypal imagery in Dostoevsky’s stories and novels and argues that archetypes bring a new dimension to our appreciation and understanding of his works. Selected texts are analyzed in the light of fresh research in Dostoevsky studies, cultural history, comparative mythology, and depth psychology.

Reviews
Caryl Emerson:
"Readers are often asked to choose between two filters, the secular and the religious, in their quest for Dostoevsky's paradoxical sense of personality: socially conditioned but not schematic, rebellious but not free. Lonny Harrison suggests that we work instead with an expanded Jungian concept of archetype, with its unconscious, its shadow, its ego-transcendence and rebirth. The result is a fascinating hypothesis about the Dostoevskian psyche, poised between the ruins of European positivism and the potentials of cosmic myth."
