Limits
to Interpretation "Remarkable and illuminating, and
nothing less than admirable in its search for the secrets of
Tolstoy in the labyrinth of his own text." Vladimir E. Alexandrov advocates a broad
revision of the academic study of literature and proposes an
adaptive, text-specific reading methodology that is designed
to minimize the circularity of interpretation inherent in the
act of reading. He illustrates this method on the example of
Tolstoy's classic novel via a detailed "map" of the
different possible readings that the novel can support. The novel
Anna Karenina emerges as deeply conflicted, polyvalent,
and quite unlike what one finds in other critical studies. Vladimir E. Alexandrov is professor of Slavic languages and literatures at Yale University, editor of The Garland Companion to Vladimir Nabokov, and author of Nabokov's Otherworld. For more publicity information, call our
