Странный Тургенев (четыре главы) Топоров В.Н.

Это «странное», для многих читателей Тургенева вообще скрытое или лишь слабо подозреваемое и уж во всяком случае, как правило, недооцениваемое (впрочем, не только читателями, но и многими исследователями), особенно отчетливо, даже резко, воспринимается на фоне «нестранного», «привычного» Тургенева — «светлого», «дневного».
