Discovering Sexuality in Dostoevsky

von Susanne Fusso

240 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Most discussions of sexuality in the work of Dostoevsky have been framed in Freudian terms. But Dostoevsky himself wrote from a decidedly pre-Freudian perspective. By looking at the views of human sexual development that were available in Dostoevsky's time, Fusso gives us a new way of understanding a critical element in the writing of one of Russia's literary masters. Fusso also explores his artistic treatment of how children and adolescents discover sexuality.
