Austen and Tolstoy

[oprokop at TEMPLE.EDU]

I second Edwina's opinion about the topic being a dead end.
I don't think Jane Austen was widely known in Russia before 
the 20th century and taken seriously until recently.
However, my opinion is based on unrelated research, and I 
too would love to be corrected.
