- W73992293 abstract "Resurrection would seem, even after considerable study, the least likely of all Tolstoy's novels to bear any important resemblance to the fiction of Charles Dickens. It is easily the most religious of Tolstoy's major works and is informed by an idea of Christianity more profound, and far more idiosyncratic, than anything found in the religious philosophy of Dickens. It manages as well to be a work of detailed social and economic theory, threaded with essay-length discussions of Herbert Spencer and Henry George, of the pri? vate ownership of land and the collection and distribution of tax revenues. And it is more explicit in its presentation of sexuality, squalor, and physical degradation than Dickens, for a variety of reasons, could ever be. I would argue nevertheless that Resurrection recalls more than any of Tolstoy's other novels the impassioned, complex fiction of Dickens's maturity. It is on many levels a novel of imprisonment, and in its symbolism, social criticism, and characterization it resembles, and almost certainly was influenced by, Dickens's great novel of imprisonment, Little Dorrit. Few would deny that the influence of Dickens on Tolstoy's work was considerable. The nature of that influence, however, has I think been widely misunderstood, due largely to the fact that Tolstoy's own remarks on his appreciation of Dickens can, like his remarks on many other subjects, be misleading. Because Tolstoy praises in What is Art? such works of Dickens as A Christmas Carol and The Chimes,1 because he cites in his letters the 4'enormous, almost unequalled influence of David Copperfield on his ado? lescent development,2 and because he was deeply impressed by what he called Dickens's true Christian spirit,3 critics have emphasized the impor? tance to Tolstoy of the sentimental, kind-hearted, Christmas-dinner Dickens: that is, of the lesser Dickens. On such early works as Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth, the influence of David Copperfield in particular is acknowledged" @default.
