Dostoevsky

Mon 3.16.09| Crime, Punishment, and Dostoevsky

Why does Dostoevsky's fiction continue to move us? What is he saying, in novels like Crime and Punishment, about compassion, utilitarian calculation, good and evil? Liza Knapp and Robin Feuer Miller describe some of the key events in Dostoevsky's life and share their analyses of Crime and Punishment. Marilyn Campbell has co-adapted the novel for the stage.
