Books by Gary Rosenshield

Gary Rosenshield offers a new interpretation of Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov. He explores Dostoevsky's critique and exploitation of the jury trial for his own ideological agenda, in both his journalism and fiction. He shows how Dostoevsky explicitly dealt with the same problems that the law-and-literature movement has from the 1980s to present.

Gogol, Turgenev, Dostoevsky and the Ridiculous Jew: A Study in the Exploitation and Transformation of the Jewish Stereotype is a study devoted to exploring the dynamic use of a Russian version of the Jewish stereotype (the ridiculous Jew) in the works of three of the greatest writers of the nineteenth century.
