Lina Steiner demonstrates how these writers' shared concern for individual and national education played a major role in forging a Russian cultural identity.  aFor Humanity's Sake highlights the role of the critic Apollon Grigor'ev, who was first to formulate the difference between West European and Russian conceptions of national education or Bildung - which he attributed to Russia's special sociopolitical conditions, geographic breadth, and cultural heterogeneity. Steiner also shows how Grigor'ev's cultural vision served as the catalyst for the creative explosion that produced Russia's most famous novels of the 1860s and 1870s.  aPositing the classic Russian novel as an inheritor of the Enlightenment's key values - including humanity, self-perfection, and cross-cultural communication - For Humanity's Sake offers a unique view of Russian intellectual history and literature."--pub. desc. 0aRussian fictiony19th centuryxHistory and criticism.9212005 0aNational characteristics, Russian, in literature.9212006 6aRoman russey19e sièclexHistoire et critique.9212007 6aRusses dans la littérature.9212008  a = C.1 SDU  cGBE2lcc  c109803d109803  00102lcc406PG30983 S822 F2011708CGB9282791aSDUbSDUcGEN3d2025-09-23e2l0oPG3098.3 S822 F 2011p1000374475r2025-09-23 00:00:00tC.1w2025-09-23yGBE
