A path-breaking literary portal. --Caryl Emerson, Princeton University Succeeds in making a challenging modernist novel more accessible to nonspecialists. Students and fans of Bely's work at every level will appreciate this fine and informative critical companion to Petersburg. --Emily Johnson, author of How St. Petersburg Learned to Study Itself
