Cambridge University Press Crime and Defoe A New Kind of Writing 16 Cambridge Studies in EighteenthCentury English Literature and Thought Series Number 16
Book SynopsisThis book seeks to recover something of the original excitement, challenge and significance of Defoe's four novels of criminal life by reading them within and against the conventions of early eighteenth-century criminal biography. Crime raised deeply troubling questions in Defoe's time, not least as a powerful sign of the breakdown of traditional social authority and order. Arguing that Defoe's novels, like criminal biography, provided ways of facing and working through, as well as avoiding, certain of the moral and intellectual difficulties that crime raised for him and his readers, Faller shows how the 'literary', even 'aesthetic' qualities of his fiction contributed to these ends. Analysing the ways in which Defoe's novels exploited, deformed and departed from the genre they imitated, this book attempts to define the specific social and political (which is to say moral and ideological) value of a given set of 'literary' texts against those of a more 'ordinary' form of narrative.Table of ContentsPreface; 1. Romancing the real: the field of criminal biography; 2. Defoe's realism: rough frames, strange voices, surprisingly various subjects and readers made more present to themselves; 3. The copious text: opening the door to inference, or, room for those who know how to read it; 4. Imitations of an invisible hand: the mind exercised, enlarged and kept in play by strange concurrences; 5. The general scandal upon business: unanswerable doubts, and the texts as a field supporting very nice distinctions; 6. The frontiers of dishonesty, the additions and concurrence of circumstances: more on the strategic situating of names; 7. Notions different from all the world: criminal stupidity, the self, and the symbolic order; Closing comments: truth, complexity, common sense and empty spaces.

Cambridge University Press Dostoevsky and the Christian Tradition
Book SynopsisThis collection brings together Western and Russian perspectives on the issues raised by the religious element in Dostoevsky's work. In addition to an exploration of the impact of the Christian tradition on Dostoevsky's major novels, there are also discussions of lesser-known works.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'Here is both literary criticism and theological reflection … [the authors] are to be congratulated on collecting and editing such a fine book.' TheologyReview of the hardback: 'It goes without saying that Dostoevsky cannot occupy the central position in any appraisal of the assimilation of Christianity into Russian literature as indeed of the relevance of this phenomenon to the new Russia; in this context, then, the appearance of Dostoevsky and the Christian Tradition is timely and welcome.'
