Reviews
Jeff Love
:
"Weir’s study addresses central questions of Tolstoi’s authorship with sophistication and nuance, opening up new possibilities for understanding Tolstoi’s authorial identity as being far more elusive than the critical tradition has generally allowed. . . . One cannot but admire Weir’s judiciousness and scrupulousness."—Jeff Love, Slavic Review
