description: Kathryn B. Feuer offers remarkable insights into Leo Tolstoy's creative process while he wrote War and Peace . She follows the novel through countless drafts and notes, illuminating its connection to earlier, unpublished, novels and to crucial new sources, both European and Russian. A novelist herself, Feuer explores the problems of character development, narrative voice, genre, and structure that Tolstoy ultimately resolved so brilliantly.
