Tolstoy's Theory of Literature and Art (foreign Literature and Art Theory Series)
About This Novel
This book contains twenty-one literary and artistic theoretical articles by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. These include comments on his creation of "Childhood" and "War and Peace", as well as discussion articles on the creations of Maurossin, Gogol, Chekhov, Shakespeare and others. The evolution of Tolstoy's worldview and the evolution of his literary outlook go hand in hand. In the late 1850s, the "Speech at the Russian Literary Love Society" opposed exposure to literature, and in the 1960s and 1970s, the essays required writing for the people. Literary essays in the 1980s and 1990s emphasized that writers should clarify "the difference between good and evil" in the things they described, criticizing the view of "art for art's sake".
