"Tolstoy" by Lilian Winstanley is a critical biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and works of the eminent Russian author Leo Tolstoy, considering his historical context, literary influence, and psychological depth. It likely focuses on significant themes such as moral dilemmas, social critique, and the human condition, illustrated through Tolstoy's interactions with contemporaries like Dostoevsky and Turgenev. At the start of the work, the author paints a broad picture of the rise of Russian literature in the 19th century, culminating in the notable contributions of Tolstoy. Winstanley delves into the influence of contemporary writers on Tolstoy and highlights the peculiar psychological insights of Russian literature. The opening chapters chronicle Tolstoy’s early life, including his aristocratic upbringing and experiences that shaped his worldview, particularly his relationships with family and the peasantry, as well as his evolving philosophical and moral beliefs. The narrative sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Tolstoy's significant literary works, his moral evolution, and the enduring impact he has had on literature and society.
