Krichevskaya intriguingly combines Sentimentalist preoccupations—sensibility, virtue, and men's moral reformation through confrontation with exemplary women's passive piety—with the uncontrollable passions and volatile hero popularized by the Byronic strain of Romanticism. Her gynocentric texts poignantly convey the stringent limitations imposed upon women's agency by a society that paradoxically credited them with the seemingly limitless capacity to exert a civilizing influence as icons of probity. Readers acquainted with Rousseau, Richardson, and Goethe will discover familiar feminized turf, but cultivated in a Russian vein.\"\u003cbr\u003e   * Helena Goscilo, The Ohio State University *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments ix\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction 1\u003cbr\u003eThe Other Voice 1\u003cbr\u003eThe Historical Context 3\u003cbr\u003eBiography and Works 8\u003cbr\u003eAnalysis of Krichevskaya’s Works 12\u003cbr\u003eConclusion 35\u003cbr\u003ePreface 38\u003cbr\u003eTo My Readers [Foreword to My Moments of Leisure] (1817) 41\u003cbr\u003eSeveral Excerpts from a Journal Dedicated to My Friends (1817) 42\u003cbr\u003eMy Comments 44\u003cbr\u003eA Plan for a Temple of Love in the Heart 46\u003cbr\u003eThoughts 47\u003cbr\u003eBlind Mother, or The Reward of Virtue Tested; A Drama in Three Acts (1818) 49\u003cbr\u003eNo Good without Reward; A Comedy in Three Acts (1826) 84\u003cbr\u003eTwo Novellas (1827) 117\u003cbr\u003eCorinna 117\u003cbr\u003eEmma 141\u003cbr\u003eCount Gorsky, a Novel (1837) 165\u003cbr\u003eSelected Poetry (bilingually, on facing pages) 268\u003cbr\u003eTo Rtishchev (1817) 269\u003cbr\u003eTo a Frame without a Picture (1817) 269\u003cbr\u003eA White Sheet of Paper (1817) 271\u003cbr\u003eOn the Militia of 1812 (1817) 273\u003cbr\u003eThe Dniepr.
