<br/><br/> This book takes four stories by the Russian Romantic author Vladimir Odoevsky to illustrate?pathways?, developed further by subsequent writers, into modern fiction. Featured here are: the artistic (musical story), the rise of science fiction, psychic aspects of the detective story, and of confession in the novel. The four chapters also examine the development of the featured categories by a wide range of subsequent writers in fiction ranging from the Romantic period up to the present century. The study works backwards from Odoevsky?s stories, noting respective previous examples or traditions.
