This volume focuses on Tolstoy's significance as a thinker in his own time, as well as in the present. Henry Gifford sets him and his views in the context of nineteenth-century Russia and Europe. He also offers a compelling account of Tolstoy's difficulties in establishing his vocation as a teacher in his own village school, his educational theory, his religious thought, his practical recommendations for living, and his controversial views on art.
