	Ivan Turgenev
		Turgenev's early attempts in literature, consisting of poems and trifling sketches, may be passed over here; they were not without indications of genius, and were favorably spoken of by Bielinski, then the leading Russian critic, for whom Turgenev ever cherished a warm regard.
		Turgenev, during the latter part of his life, did not reside much in Russia; he lived either at Baden Baden or Paris, and chiefly with the family of the celebrated singer Viardot Garcia, to the members of which he was much attached.
		Unquestionably Turgenev may be considered one of the great novelists, worthy to be ranked with Thackeray, Dickens and George Eliot; with the genius of the last of these he has many affinities.

	Dr. Anne Simpson's Author and Literature Links: Ivan Turgenev
		Turgenev, Ivan Sergeyevich (1818-1883), Russian author, considered the foremost stylist in Russian literature; his novels, poems, and plays are characterized by elegant craftsmanship, lucidity, and a liberal, balanced point of view.
		Turgenev was born November 9, 1818, in Orël in central Russia and educated at the universities of Saint Petersburg and Berlin.
		Turgenev believed in the goals of his hero, but he also believed that they could be achieved only through a long period of gradual change rather than by revolution.

	Ivan Turgenev's Singers - Introduction
		Naturally, Turgenev's interest in Khor's character and family life is matched by an equivalent curiosity on Khor's part; their mutual ignorance is sufficient comment in itself on the division which exists between master and peasant.
		Turgenev was in Salzbrunn during part of Belinsky's convalescence, and the latter's plea for justice in Russian social and -political life, as expressed in the Letter to Gogol, later became Turgenev's sole religious and political credo.
		Of all the Sketches which Turgenev wrote, Bailiff, with its exquisitely savage portrait of the foppish tyrant Penochkin and its equally acute study of his bailiff, is by far the most outspoken attack on the exploitation of the peasantry.

		Turgenev championed their works in Russia and, as well as more informal contacts, they met as a group dining together once a month.
		The conventional view of Turgenev’s novels is that they are innocent of the extremism and melodrama of a Dostoevsky, or the didacticism of a Tolstoy.

		A remarkably prolific writer, Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev's romanticized view of justice, thirst and liberalism contributed greatly to the thinking of Soviet Underground writers, particularly the mid-dynasty.
		Turgenev believes that progress comes through political change and that the mystical and the religious are distractions.

	The Willa Cather Archive \| Cather Studies, Vol. 1
		Mirsky observes in his discussion of Turgenev: "The, strong, pure, passionate, and virtuous woman, opposed to the weak, potentially generous, but ineffective and ultimately shallow man, was introduced into literature by Pushkin, and recurs again and again in the work of the realists, but nowhere more insistently than in Turgenev's" (192-93).
		However, Turgenev's most significant influence on Cather may well have involved not the kinds of characters she created but rather her sense of the role of character and its relationship to fictional structure and theme.
		The striking parallels between the fictional theories and techniques of Cather and Turgenev suggest that Willa Cather was greatly influenced by her reading of Turgenev and by James's remarks on his work.

	wbur.org Arts - Theater - A Month in the Country
		As Aileen M. Kelly explores in her brilliant essay, "The Nihilism of Ivan Turgenev," the Russian writer "maintained that there was a tragic discontinuity between all human values and ideals and the objective processes of nature and history." His public liberalism was undercut by a belief in the radical disjunction between human desires and reality.
		Turgenev's figures are more isolated; there is no sense that their ennui can be relieved.
		Turgenev's dour tragedy and psychological realism are muted -- all that Friel and the HTC leave of the play is the amusing spectacle of zany people getting on each other's nerves.

	Amazon.com: Fathers and Sons (Konemann Classics): Books: Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev,Constance Black Garnett (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Turgenev is in fact a wonderful stylist: economical, precise, lyrical when it befits his characters, yet never wordy.
		Turgenev's approach to his characters is similarly nimble and balanced; sometimes he adopts a more distant tone, sometimes he's in a particular character's head, sometimes he gives a brief description of a character's backgound, at others a character will relate another's history from his point of view.
		In a way, Turgenev is the anti-Dostoevsky (intending no disrespect to the master); at every opportunity where he might stage a cathartic "pathetic scene"--the duel, the climactic encounter over the deathbed of one of the main characters--he stays true to the fundamentally disjointed nature of life.

		Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (Иван Тургенев, November 9, 1818 - September 3, 1883) was a Russian novelist, poet, and writer.
		Turgenev was born into a wealthy family, but suffered at the hands of an emotional and abusive mother, who terrified young Ivan.
		Unlike the other two great Russian writers of this time, Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoevsky, Turgenev was uninterested in religion, and this led to a strained, highly artificial friendship with the other two.

		Turgenev thrusts his snarling young radicals into the venerable world of fathers when Bazarov accompanies Arkady to the Kirsanov country estate.
		To the English reader On the Eve is a charmingly drawn picture of a quiet Russian household, with a delicate analysis of a young girl's soul; but to Russians it is also a deep and penetrating diagnosis of the destinies of the Russia of the fifties.
		TURGENEV was the first writer who was able, having both Slavic and universal imagination enough for it, to interpret modern Russia to the outer world, and Virgin Soil was the last word of his greater testament.

		What Turgenev depicts in Fathers and Sons in the the character of Bazarov, Eugene Rose (Father Seraphim) explicitly describes in his work Nihilism: The Root of the Revolution of the Modern Age.
		Turgenev himself was not a man of strong religious convictions, and he does not have the spiritual depth of a writer like Dostoevsky.

	The Country Doctor
		Ivan Turgenev was born in Orel, Russia, of wealthy, landowning parents.
		Returning to Russia, Turgenev entered the Ministry of the Interior and embarked upon a career as a civil servant that soon left him restless and unhappy.
		Abandoning government service for literature, Turgenev experienced almost immediate success with the publication (at first serially, 1847 to 1851; and then in book form, 1852) of A Sportsman's Sketches, a series of lyrical, yet realistic portraits of Russian peasant life, and the treatment of the serfs at the hands of the nobility.

	Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883)
		One of the last acts of the elder writer, performed on his deathbed, was to address to the other (from whom for a considerable term he had been estranged by circumstances needless to reproduce) an appeal to return to the exercise of the genius that Tolstoy had already so lamentably, so monstrously forsworn.
		Turgenev is in a peculiar degree what I may call the novelists' novelist--an artistic influence extraordinarily valuable and ineradicably established.
		Turgenev's sense of it was the great light that artistically guided him; the simplest account of him is to say that the mere play of it constitutes in every case his sufficient drama.

	Turgenev's early upbringing
		Ivan Turgenev was exposed early to Byron and Byronism in both European and Russian forms.
		Perhaps his mother's greatest contribution to Turgenev was her death in 1850, the result of which was a sizeable inheritance that, had he been a better manager of money, would have left him financially comfortable for the rest of his life (Lowe 1989, 22).
		Spasskoe became a place for Turgenev to gain inspiration, to write, and to be exiled to, though he preferred to travel and live throughout Europe.

		Afterwards they went on to read Tolstoi, and Turgenev’s powerful and antipathetic fellow- novelist, Dostoievsky, and many other Russian writers: but as he was the greatest artist of them all, his individual revelation of his country’s predicament did not lose its effect.
		It is one of a series of portraits, wonderfully traced psychological studies of the Russian dreamers and incompatibles of last mid-century, of which the most moving figure is the hero of the earlier novel, Dimitri Rudin.
		Turgenev was born at Orel, son of a cavalry colonel, in ISIS.

	Sketches from a Hunter's Album - Ivan Turgenev - Penguin Classics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Turgenev's first major prose work is a series of twenty-five Sketches: the observations and anecdotes of the author during his travels through Russia satisfying his passion for hunting.
		His album is filled with moving insights into the lives of those he encounters - peasants and landowners, doctors and bailiffs, neglected wives and bereft mothers - each providing a glimpse of love, tragedy, courage and loss, and anticipating Turgenev's great later works such as First Love and Fathers and Sons.
		His depiction of the cruelty and arrogance of the ruling classes was considered subversive and led to his arrest and confinement to his estate, but these sketches opened the minds of contemporary readers to the plight of the peasantry and were even said to have led Tsar Alexander II to abolish serfdom.
