Disclaimer:
This book contains characters with diacritics. When the characters can be represented using the ISO 8859-1 character set ( http://www.w3.org/TR/images/latin1.gif ), netLibrary will represent them as they appear in the original text, and most computers will be able to show the full characters correctly. In order to keep the text searchable and readable on most computers, characters with diacritics that are not part of the ISO 8859-1 list will be represented without their diacritical marks. |
| My thanks to the American Council of Learned Societies, which awarded a grant for research; to those anonymous readers who directed the manuscript toward its final shape; to Robert Belknap, critic and professor, who saw some early chapters and made helpful suggestions; to Sonia Ketchian, scholar, and the Russian Research Center at Harvard for arranging a lively seminar around the argument of the middle chapters; to the late Theodore Morrison, poet and novelist, director of Breadloaf, who read it with the wisdom of years of writing; and to John Thurner, novelist, who responded to the first draft with enthusiasm and many paragraphs of careful, pointed commentary. |
| Transliteration / Translation |
| In the next, for readability I have followed a conventional transliteration of Russian, which gives Dostoevsky and Chekhov, for example. In the notes and bibliography, I have used the literal scheme, in which each Cyrillic letter is represented by a Latin, giving Dostoevskij and Cexov. |
