In his new book, a contemporary researcher of 19th-century Russian literature offers a new approach to the work of Alexander Ostrovsky (1823-1886). The works of this recognized classic are studied as part of a school literature course, his writings are regularly republished, several dozen plays are constantly staged, and books, articles, and dissertations are devoted to his biographies and work. At the same time, surprisingly little has been written about the works themselves; their enormous corpus remains completely unread and ununderstood.
