Tolstoy smany-sided literary work, with such facts as to his life as may serve to shed light on that work and on the personality of the man who produced it. The book does not attempt to chronicle in detail the events ofT olstoy slife, or to furnish information as to each of his minor bits of writing; it avoids digressions on the members of his family and other persons associated with him. The materials for the volume are primarily Tolstoy spublished writings, letters, and diaries. In particular, I have made much use of his correspondence with the Countess Alexandra A ndreyevna Tolstoy, and of his letters to his wife, both of which books have appeared in print since the lives ofT olstoy by Biryuk6v, Maude, Dole, and Holland. For the events ofT olstoy slife I have relied mainly on Biryukov and, for his later years, on Maude. Despite the fact that I have been at work on this volume, at irregular intervals, for a dozen years, I cannot profess to have made use of all the accessible materials. Most important, the diary ofT olstoy searly years, 1847-52, reached me too late to be of service.
