Over the past few years there has been a veritable renaissance of interest in the history of science in imperial Russia. The Reception of Darwin in Imperial Russian Literature and Intellectual History is an invaluable contribution to this project. The articles it contains are original, erudite and lucid, both broad in scope and detailed in analysis. They provide a new perspective on familiar authors like Chekhov, Dostoevsky, and Chernyshevsky, but also on lesser studied (but extremely important) intellectuals, like Strakhov and Danilevsky. Taken as a whole, the book greatly expands our understanding of Darwin’s reception in Russia and, alongside the classic studies by Todes and Vucinich, will serve as one of the reference guides on the topic for years to come. Every scholar of nineteenth-century Russian literature and culture should have a copy in their library.
