Ein ausgezeichneter Überblick über die russische Literatur des 19. Jahrhunderts und deren politische und soziale Hintergründe. Natürlich muss das Werk im Kontext der Zeit ihrer Entstehung (Anfang 1900) gelesen werden, allerdings liefert es viele wichtige Informationen und Anregungen zur Weiterbildung, was das Wissen über die russische Literatur betrifft.
