Dostoevsky and Dickens: A Study of Literary Influence presents a meticulous scholarly investigation into one of literary history's most compelling cross-cultural connections, arguing that Charles Dickens's vivid portrayals of poverty, social injustice, and the human psyche left an indelible mark on the work of Fyodor Dostoevsky. N. M. Lary, writing from the Faculty of Arts at York University, Toronto, chronicles the textual, thematic, and psychological parallels between the two giants, illustrating how Dickens's novels — widely read in nineteenth-century Russia — shaped the narrative conscience of Dostoevsky's greatest works.\n\nPublished by the respected academic imprint Routledge and Kegan Paul, this study positions itself within the tradition of comparative literature at its most rigorous and rewarding, unpacking the transatlantic and trans-cultural currents that defined the nineteenth-century novel. Lary's prose is precise yet accessible, drawing on close textual analysis to illuminate shared preoccupations with suffering, redemption, and the moral complexity of modern urban life. For anyone who has ever sensed a kindred spirit between the gaslit streets of London and the frozen avenues of St. Petersburg, this work offers a definitive and deeply satisfying answer to why.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203276349659,"sku":"2026200013027-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/72f093c6-7807-46de-84be-daa38c2de5d6.png?v=1788147229","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013027-secondhand-dostoevsky-and-dickens-a-study-of-literary-influence","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
