by THE HON C. M. WOODHOUSE , MP Unlike other 19th-century novelists Dostoevsky seems to grow more relevant to our own times instead of becoming dated. The world he described feels closer to our experience than it did to his contemporaries, and perhaps it will seem closer still to a generation after ours. These ideas, which emerge from a fresh and original study of Dostoevsky by Professor Robert Lord , are examined by Mr Wood house, the author of a short biography of the novelist.
