Dostoevsky as Philosopher
https://hume.ucdavis.edu/phi151old/NOV28LEC.HTM
This lecture from a college philosophy class touches on several of Dostoevsky’s works in an effort to demonstrate that “Dostoevsky has had a profound impact upon the course of the last century of philosophical thought. Through his novels he managed to engage in a considerable amount of serious and controversial philosophical commentary.”

Gothicism in Conrad and Dostoevsky
http://www.otago.ac.nz/DeepSouth/vol1no2/berry1_issue2.html
“Though the critical establishment has long since labelled both artists as psychological, even political novelists, Conrad and Dostoevsky are also authors of what is usually called ‘popular’ fiction. Under this broad, notoriously problematic heading, are included such independent genres as ‘adventure, thriller and detective writing’; ‘romance’ literature; and Gothic fiction.’ Each of these literary forms, I would argue, can be claimed to exist in Conrad and Dostoevsky’s complex fictional worlds. It is the world of ‘Gothic’ fiction that I shall focus on.”

Dostoyevsky: Chronology
http://www.vex.net/~x/dostport/dost-chron.html
“This time line of the life of Dostoyevsky is lifted from the back of Great Short Works of Fyodor Dostoevsky (Perennial Library, 1968). It is very sketchy, and in places even misleading (in my opinion). However, it does the job of providing the order and time frame of the creation of most of Dostoyevsky’s work, and some clues as to some of the major events in his extremely complex life.”
