The specially commissioned essays in The Cambridge Companion to Tolstoy do justice to the sheer volume of Tolstoy's writing. Key dimensions of his writing and life are explored in essays focusing on his relationship to popular writing, the issue of gender and sexuality in his fiction and his aesthetics. The introduction provides a brief, unified account of the man, for whom his art was only one activity among many. The volume is well supported by supplementary material including  a detailed guide to further reading and a chronology of Tolstoy's life, the most comprehensive compiled in English to date. Altogether the volume provides an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eNotes on contributors\u003cbr\u003e Editor's preface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Notes on editions, citations and transliterations\u003cbr\u003e Chronology\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Tolstoy as artist and public figure Donna Tussing Orwin\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
