Susan McReynolds: The Economics of Salvation and Dostoevsky’s Anti-Semitism
Dostoevsky’s nationalism and anti-Semitic views have long puzzled readers and critics. How could the author of The Brothers Karamazov also pen slurs against Jews in A Writer’s Diary? How could this Christian humanist include nationalist outbursts in The Idiot?
In this study, Susan McReynolds argues that the coexistence of humanism and hatred, faith and doubt, is not a contradiction but a logical outcome. She traces Dostoevsky’s nationalism to his deep-seated uncertainties about Christianity itself, revealing a writer torn between belief and skepticism. This work offers a fresh, scholarly perspective on a controversial aspect of Dostoevsky’s legacy.
