Winter Notes on Summer Impressions: In June 1862, Dostoevsky left St. Petersburg on his first excursion to Western Europe. Ostensibly making the trip to consult Western specialists about his epilepsy, he also wished to see the source of the Western ideas he believed were corrupting Russia. Over the course of his journey he visited a number of major cities, including Berlin, Paris, London, Florence, Milan, and Vienna. His impressions on what he saw, Winter Notes on Summer Impressions, were first published in the February 1863 issue of "Vremya" (Time), the periodical he edited, and are collected here. Three Essays on Dostoyevsky by Virginia Woolf: Virginia Woolf was a great champion of Dostoyevsky's work, and wrote three essays on his life and work, entitled Dostoevsky the Father; More Dostoevsky; and Dostoevsky in Cranford.
