<div>This book explores the influence of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Chekhov on Russian-born&nbsp;French language writer Irène Némirovsky. It considers the complexity of&nbsp;each of these relationships and the different modes in which they appear;&nbsp;demonstrating how, by skillfully integrating reading and writing, reception and&nbsp;creation, Némirovsky engaged with Russian literature within her own work.&nbsp;Through detailed analysis of the intersections between novels, short stories and&nbsp;archival sources, the book assesses to what degree Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and&nbsp;Chekhov influenced Némirovsky, how this influence affected her work, and to&nbsp;what effects. To this aim the book articulates the notion of creative influence, a&nbsp;method that, in conversation with theories of influence, intertextuality, and&nbsp;reception aesthetics, seeks to reflect a “meeting of artistic minds” that includes</div><div>affective, ethical, and creative encounters between writers, readers, and&nbsp;researchers.</div>
