Two weeks ago I went to Dr. Bartlett’s lecture The Modernity of Anna Karenina, about
the Russian novel Anna Karenina by
Tolstoy. Throughout the lecture Dr. Bartlett went over the ways that the novel was
revolutionary for its time. One of her examples that I found interesting was
how Tolstoy employed a type of writing style that was new for his time in which
he repeatedly used the same words and phrases. Although he was criticized for
this style, which some thought made reading it confusing, Tolstoy refused to
make any changes and kept it as it was.
