“This collection of studies by American, British, Scandinavian, Russian and Israeli scholars is a welcome contribution to our knowledge of Belyi’s extraordinary novel. … What this collection does, and does brilliantly, is not so much to promote Petersburg to a wider readership as to provide a fascinating companion-guide, a complex and erudite Baedecker to the living world of Belyi’s invention, a guide which helps us situate it in its early twentieth-century Russian and European context.” —Avril Pyman, University of Durham, Slavonic and East European Review Vol. 96, No. 4
