In her well-conceived and jargon-free analysis, Liza Knapp offers a fresh approach to understanding how the novel is constructed, how it creates patterns of meaning, and why it is much more than Tolstoy's version of an adultery story.\u003cbr\u003e Knapp provides a series of readings of \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/i\u003e that draw on other works that were critical to Tolstoy's understanding of the interconnectedness of human lives. Among the texts she considers are \u003ci\u003eThe Scarlet Letter\u003c\/i\u003e, a novel of adultery with a divided plot; \u003ci\u003eMiddlemarch\u003c\/i\u003e, a multiplot novel with neighborly love as its ideal; and Blaise Pascal's \u003ci\u003ePensées\u003c\/i\u003e, which fascinated Tolstoy during his own religious crisis. She concludes with a tour-de-force reading of \u003ci\u003eMrs. Dalloway\u003c\/i\u003e that shows Virginia Woolf constructing this novel in response to Tolstoy's treatment of Anna Karenina and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiza Knapp is a professor in the Department of Slavic Languages at Columbia University.
