Summary: "The Russian Novelists" by Eugène-Melchior Vogüé is a collection of critical essays written in the late 19th century. This work explores the evolution of Russian literature and its notable novelists, aiming to shed light on the Russian national character as expressed through their writings. The author's focus is largely on the 19th-century novelists who transformed the literary landscape of Russia, making it particularly relevant for readers interested in understanding the depth and breadth of Russian literature during that era. At the start of the work, the translator provides a note on the complexities of rendering Russian names into English, setting the stage for the challenges of translating the richness of Russian literature. The preface elaborates on the author's objective to outline the significant epochs in Russian literary history, particularly focusing on the transition from earlier forms of writing to the realism established by 19th-century novelists like Gogol, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy. The text emphasizes how these writers convey the intricacies of Russian life, using a blend of personal insights and broader historical contexts, while acknowledging the limitations of existing translations in capturing the essence of Russian poetic forms. This introductory portion tantalizes readers with the promise of a nuanced examination of how these literary figures reflect and shape the Russian soul. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
