Murav, Harriet, Holy foolishness : Dostoevsky's novels & the poetics of cultural critique PG3328.Z7 H646 1992 Stanford University Press, 1992. Claiming that Dostoevsky has "reinvented the holy fool" Murav's critique accuses Dostoevsky's literature of being representative of "three interrelated problemOs: narrative innovation, cultural critique, and authorial self-representation." Murav has traced the development of several characters in many of Dostoevsky's work and draws the conclusion that readers are "scandalized and left with the possibility for [what she calls] conversion."

Sohi, Behzad Ghaderi. "Theatres of the Mind: A Comparative Study of British Romantic Dramatists with Five Contemporary British Dramatists." [Doctoral dissertation, U of Essex, 1997], DAI, Vol. 58-04C (1997): 1162.

This study traces "the subversive strategies used by five recent English playwrights--Howard Barker, Edward Bond, Howard Brenton, Caryl Churchill, and Roger Howard--back to the dramatic and theatrical legacy of Wordsworth, Baillie, Shelley, and Byron." Sohi explores historical connections between two groups of writers who faced the collapse of utopian possibilities. Sohi juxtaposes Remorse (1813) with Scenes from an Execution (1984) and No End of Blame (1981); Wordsworth's The Borderers (1796-7) with Edward Bond's The Fool (1976); Joanna Baillie's The Second Marriage (1798) with Caryl Churchill's Top Girls (1982); and Shelley's The Cenci (1819) with Brenton's Bloody Poetry (1984). Sohi discusses Byron's Sardanapalus (1821) and Roger Howard's Queen (1798) in terms of Hegel's trope of master/slave.
