Author Information

FYODOR DOSTOYEVSKY (1821-1881) used his novels to peer into the tortured depths of the human soul. Over the course of his difficult life, Dostoyevsky went from a confirmed revolutionary-socialist to a religious arch-conservative, managing to express through his literature all of the ideas and theories which enraptured, ennerved and invigorated Russian society in the middle of the nineteenth century. SARAH YOUNG is a lecturer in Russian at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London. She previously held postsat the University of Toronto and the University of Nottingham. She is the author of Dostoevsky's 'The Idiot' and the Ethical Foundations of Narrative, and co-editor of Dostoevsky on the Threshold of Other Worlds. Her current projects expand her research on Dostoyevsky into new areas: she is writing a study of Russian labor camp narratives, and developing a literary cartography project, Mapping St Petersburg (mappingpetersburg.org). She blogs about her research and teaching at sarahjyoung.com.
