"Novels and Novelists of the Day"
By S. E. Shevitch
Originally published North American Review, March 1879, pp. 326-334.
Distributed by the Tolstoy Library, March 2000
"Tolstoy Library Note: This article is presented as a comparison of Tolstoy and Turgenev written before Tolstoy discussed publicly his spiritual crisis. The Tolstoy described by Shevitch jars with Tolstoy as we know him today. Furthermore, the article contains factual errors with regard to Tolstoy."
