DOBROLIUBOV, Nikolai Aleksandrovich (1836-1861). Sochineniia [Works]. St Petersburg: Iosafat Ogrizko, 1862.
The first edition. Like Chernyshevskii – who compiled, edited, and introduced this collection – Dobroliubov 'came to be regarded as a saint by the radical intelligentsia. He was the most famous and influential of the critics after Belinsky: all the radical intelligentsia from 1860 to 1905 were brought up on him […] All Old Russia – the gentry, the merchants, the traditions of Church and State – he hated with equal violence, and to tear the intelligentsia and the people away from everything connected with old times was his one aim' (Mirsky, p.226). He died, aged 25, in 1861: the year of the emancipation of the serfs.
Four volumes, twelvemo (216 x 137mm). Engraved portrait frontispiece in volume 4; with the half-titles (some light browning and spotting). Contemporary Russian brown half leather with brown mottled paper covered sides, spines lettered directly in gilt (spine evenly faded).
