| The renowned Russian writer Leo Tolstoy created a realistic masterpiece in Anna Karenina (1878). In the same work, moreover, he utilized allegory and symbol to an extent and at a level of sophistication unknown in his other works. In Browningâ s study, the author identifies and analyzes previously unnoticed or only briefly mentioned â linkages and keystonesâ found in two highly developed clusters of symbols, arising from Annaâ s momentous train ride and peasant nightmares, and of allegories, rooted in Vronskyâ s disastrous steeplechase. Within this labyrinth of symbol, allegory and structural patterning lies embedded much of the novelâ s most significant meaning. This study will be of particular interest to students and scholars of Russian literature, Tolstoy, symbol, allegory, structuralism, and moral criticism. |
