Reviews
Ayse Dietrich, Middle East Technical University, International Journal of Russian Studies Issue no. 6, Jan 2017:
“This valuable book includes very well-researched articles written by the scholars of the field which examine the dialogues of Dostoevky’s personas from aesthetic, philosophical and religious viewpoints. It is a major contribution to the Russian literature associated with Dostoevky’s name and works.” —Ayse Dietrich, International Journal of Russian Studies, Vol. 8 No. 1
Michael Marsh-Soloway, University of Virginia, The Russian Review (Vol. 76, No. 3, July 2017):
"I found the volume to be an informative and fascinating read. Students and scholars of Dostoevsky gain new appreciations and understandings by reconciling the established links between Russian literature, science, faith, and humanistic traditions...It would be productive not only for Slavists, but also for specialists from a range of different areas of expertise to publish additional series of this volume to enrich scholarly understanding of the author and his creative, interdisciplinary imagination."
