"Dostoevsky at 200 is an essential resource for anyone researching or teaching　Dostoevsky: the essays are consistently original, stimulating, and lucid. The volume's masterful introduction provides not just a survey of the wide-ranging works that follow but also thoughtful accounts of modernity and genre and of these fraught categories' key importance in the nineteenth-century Russian tradition."

"The scholarship in this invigorating collection situates Dostoevsky’s great novels within the fraught intellectual culture of their time, when the new sciences of statistics, economics, physiology, neuroscience, and psychology challenged traditional cultural, religious, and family values and hurled Russia to the brink of modernity. A model for true interdisciplinarity, impeccably written and edited, Dostoevsky at 200 tells its own story, a story of how criticism keeps literature alive."

"Dostoevsky – rebel and patriot, prophet and ironist – is wonderfully served by this collection of ten bicentennial essays. Each chapter reminds us anew of Dostoevsky’s astonishing creative synthesis: everything is disintegrating (marriages, bodies, plots, faith systems), and yet out of the rubble he devises a more glorious novelistic form than the old stable one, non-reductive, non-mechanistic, baffling, utterly of our time."

"An outstanding collection by a brilliant new generation of Dostoevsky scholars. These essays focus on new topics – science, capitalism, family relations, the material world – and on some familiar topics treated in new ways. Highly recommended for all readers of Dostoevsky."
