Recenzii
"Students, teachers, and admirers of Dostoevsky’s novels, of whom there are many, will want to have Lewis Bagby’s book at hand or nearby. In this engaging and provocative study, Bagby offers the most extensive analysis to date of what he calls Dostoevsky’s ‘first words,’ the introductions that appear in many of Dostoevsky’s texts...With its hard look at a new, little understood, but absolutely crucial, area of Dostoevsky’s work, Bagby’s study is a useful guide to a significant body of Dostoevsky’s fiction, and is especially well written. Full of sure-handed, solid, refreshing critical analysis, this volume belongs in the top echelon of scholarship about Dostoevsky."
"What do Dostoevsky’s introductions contribute to our understanding of the works in which they appear? By raising and answering this question in his excellent study of Dostoevsky’s first-person narratives, Lewis Bagby demonstrates that Dostoevsky’s ‘first words’ are ‘complex, multifunctional, variegated rhetorical phenomena’ (xiv)."
A uniquely refreshing study of Dostoevsky's complex and little understood introductions, Lewis Bagby’s First Words: On Dostoevsky's Introductions, is a groundbreaking new work. Through a close reading and utilizing Genette's typology, Bagby provides insights into narratology and authorial voice and discovers that Dostoevsky's fictional introductory commentaries create frames essential in understanding the multifacetedness of his novelistic characters and plots. A required reading for literary scholars which can be of a significant interest to all readers of Dostoevsky's fiction.
"Drawing attention to a surprisingly neglected aspect of Dostoevsky’s works, Lewis Bagby deftly reveals how Dostoevsky used introductions—or prologues or forewords or prefaces—to subtly indicate themes and structures of many of his most important writings, such as Notes from the Underground and The Brothers Karamazov. Taking that cue, Bagby offers rich and newly insightful interpretations of Dostoevsky’s works large and small, alerting readers how to read them from Dostoevsky’s point of view. Bagby’s reading of the introduction to “A Gentle Creature” is nothing short of a revelation. The book will likely surprise, and will indeed enlighten, many a reader."
“What might seem at first like a rather narrow topic becomes, in Bagby’s capable hands, a path into a complex realm of contradictory voices and ideas, ultimately yielding significant new readings of several of Dostoevskii’s most important works ... this exhilarating, wonderfully written and profoundly original book is a very significant contribution to Dostoevskii studies and to scholarship on nineteenth-century Russian literature more generally ... this book will be an invaluable addition to Dostoevskii bibliography for readers, students, and scholars alike”
