Description for Kafka and Dostoyevsky
Hardcover. In a series of readings of Kafka's works from "The Judgment" to "The Trial" and other works from late 1914, a narrative unfolds of Dostoyevsky being used both as a guide and a foil. Kafka's appropriations of the Dostoyevskian world are traced in this book by W.J. Dodd. Num Pages: 249 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 1DFG; 1DVUA; 2ACG; 2AGR; DSBF; DSBH; DSK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 144 x 220 x 20. Weight in Grams: 444.
This book evaluates the importance of Dostoyevsky's life and imaginative fiction as a stimulus to Kafka's own writing. Dostoyevskian material is situated within detailed readings of particular works. The principle sources discussed are The Double, Notes from Underground, Crime and Punishment, and Dostoyevsky's (auto) biography. It is argued that Kafka's use of Dostoyevsky is driven by antagonism as much as by admiration.
