Summary:

Gary Rosenshield offers a new interpretation of Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov. He explores Dostoevsky's critique and exploitation of the jury trial for his own ideological agenda, in both his journalism and fiction. He shows how Dostoevsky explicitly dealt with the same problems that the law-and-literature movement has from the 1980s to present.

Dostoevsky and the Kornilova case : the realization of Russian justice
