Study will trace Goethe's influence on Russian literature from the earliest beginnings of that influence to the present. The first volume of this work carrying the investigation to the middle of the 19th century appeared with the University of Pennsylvania Press in its Haney Foundation Series (1968;pp.304). This second volume deals with the Liberal Democrats, the Radical Democrats and the Slavophiles. It also has material on Turgeniev, Tolstoy, Dostoevski and on the Soviets. It investigates the "movements" at the turn of the 20th century and its pre-Soviet decades, and brings the material up to the present.
