Shedding new light and revealing light on the interrelationships among the three literary giants of nineteenth-century Russia, it will make its readers far more conscious of the workings of consciousness in both Russian and western literature.\" -- \u003ci\u003eSlavic Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eConsequences of Consciousness\u003c\/i\u003e offers a particularly rich sense of the interactions among these three writers (and some others, like Herzen) as, in overt and implicit reference to each other, they debated and redebated ethics, meaning, and selfhood...I hope I do not exaggerate, but it seems to me that Orwin has put her finger on the pulse of Russian realism and reminded us why it matters.\" -- \u003ci\u003eRussian Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The great Russian Realists were also great lay psychologists.
