PRECEDENT NAMES OF TOLSTOY AND DOSTOYEVSKY IN THE NEW YORKER: DIACHRONIC ASPECT (1925-2015)

In this paper, we study precedent phenomena in The New Yorker issues encompassing the period of nine decades. The phenomena under analysis relate to two preeminent writers of Russian origin ? Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoyevsky. As follows from the diachronic analysis, these authors and their pieces of writing are of commensurable value to the well-educated American reader during virtually the whole time interval at hand (1925-2015).
