«Непрочитанное» литературное наследие жены Ф. М. Достоевского (с приложением текстов ее неопубликованных произведений)
The “Unread” Literary Heritage of the Wife of Fedor Dostoevsky (with the Texts of Her Unpublished Works)

Summary/Abstract: The article gives a brief overview of the literary works of the representatives of the Dostoevsky family-brother, wife, children and grandchildren of the writer. A special attention is paid to the analysis of Anna Dostoevskaya’s fiction, written after the death of Dostoevsky. The manuscript texts attributed to her are kept in the archives of Russian State Archive of Literature and Art and Manuscript Department of the Institute of Russian Literature and are not widely known. Dostoevsky’s wife wrote two humoristic stories (the end of one of them has not come to our days) and two dramas — a farcical play “Recommendation” and a monologue scene “The Confession of Marmeladov”, prepared for a theatrical performance. Their author appears as a good storyteller who loves entertaining plots, having a subtle sense of humor and a satirical gift. A literary experience of A. G. Dostoevskaya is interesting as texts of the pupil of the great writer whose artistic skill developed as a result of a long-term spiritual ties and joint creative work with Dostoevsky. The article has a supplement of Anna Dostoevskaya’s literary works published for the first time.
