"Maniacs, murders and adulteres infest the novels of the nineteenth centu=
ry.
Why dont novelists focus on ordinary people?" This is studied in relation=
 to
Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, Crime and Punishment as well as Therese
Raquin. There are some obvious links, with Anna and Bovary being the
adulters, although of the mind for the latter. There is also some recurri=
ng
themes of indepth study of the characters inner world e.g. Raskolnikov an=
d
Madame Bovary. 

why not try Charles Pooter's Diary of a Nobody?
(and would there be a Russian equivalent?)
