ABSTRACT

This paper is a work to compare Dostoevsky, a Russian novelist in the mid to late 19th century, and Lawrence, a British novelist in the early 20th century. Some critics evaluate the transition from Lawrence’s representative novels, The Rainbow (1915) and Women in Love (1920), as ‘the transition from Tolstoyan The Rainbow to Dostoevskyeyan Women in Love.’ This paper examines this transition through the similarities between Tolstoy’s and Dostoevsky’s narrative methods and Lawrence’s. Through this work we examine what meaning the topic ‘Dostoevsky and Lawrence’ can have. On the other hand, Bakhtin, Lawrence’s contemporary and a well-known Dostoevsky researcher, is compared to Lawrence. Through an examination of Lawrence’s ‘exess’ and Bakhtin’s ‘izbytok’, we examine the similarities between Lawrence’s philosophy and Bakhtin’s philosophy
