In spite of critics' attacks, many ordinary readers were overwhelmed by Dostoevskii's charisma and began writing to him from different parts of Russia, expressing their views of the moral, social and political issues dealt with in the \u003ci\u003eDiary\u003c\/i\u003e. Such success was guaranteed also by the original rhetorical style of the \u003ci\u003eDiary of a Writer\u003c\/i\u003e, which aimed to involve readers and persuade them to share Dostoevskii's beliefs. By concentrating on new material, consisting of correspondence between Dostoevskii and his readers, and applying a new methodology, reader-response criticism and genre studies, the author investigates how Dostoevskii's rhetoric in the \u003ci\u003eDiary of a Writer\u003c\/i\u003e affected the Russian reading public, transformed Dostoevskii's image in Russian society, and reawakened national identity.","brand":"Verlag Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043730948439,"sku":"9783039112067","price":58.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783039112067.jpg?v=1750959262","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/reawakening-national-identity-9783039112067","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
