The Unsaid "Anna Karenina"
Condition: SECONDHAND
This is a secondhand book. The jacket image is indicative only and does not represent the condition of this copy. For information about the condition of this book you can email us.
Lev Tostoy is commonly identified with his character Levin in "Anna Karenina", but the discovery that the author repeats himself in other male characters and pre-eminently in his heroine Anna, questions the relation of a male author to the female he has engendered and the unstated reasons for the destruction of a character who is also himself. This close textual analysis deals with the formal, psychoanalytic and ideological devices and discourses of the novel, attempting to prove that a so-called monological text is a heteroglossia in which the silences speak as loudly as the voices. Judith Armstrong is author of "The Novel of Adultery", "In the Land of Kangaroos and Gold-Mines" and "Essays in Honour of Nina Christesen" (editor with Rae Slonek).
