This volume presents a comprehensive overview of the close and complex relationship between Britain and the life and work of Ivan Turgenev. The author examines Turgenev's interest in English literature and his reception by the British from the 1850s through to the present day. Reprinting important articles previously inaccessible to the general reader, it includes a new introduction and an extensive bibliography and index. 'Readers of this journal will need no reminder of the enormous contribution Patrick Waddington has made to Turgenev studies during the past twenty five years or so. Its pages contain much of the valuable material his indefatigable research has produced during that period. The volume under review is in a sense a celebration and summation of part of the work accomplished in those twenty five years. In it the editor, with his customary scholarship, good sense and meticulous attention to detail, has brought together previously published articles, essays and reviews by British critics, writers, scholars and literary historians, on the subject of Anglo-Saxon perspectives of Turgenev, in the process also shedding light on the Russian writer's possible influence on English literature in the nineteenth century.'
