- 요약This dissertation argues that 19th -century Russian thinkers explored, developed, and experimented with liberal political ideas by sublimating them as plots in family novels. The family novel proved a particularly effective vehicle for these plots because of the ways in which familial rhetoric and symbolism gradually had become intertwined with the very idea of the Russian Imperial state, from the radical reign of Peter the Great to the autocratic rule of Nicholas I. Liberalism emerged in Western Europe primarily as ideological opposition to autocratic rule. Its emergence in Russia also entailed opposition to the foundations of autocratic tsarist rule-including the affective, familial rhetoric and symbolism that undergirded the Imperial Russian state's authority. In my analysis of three different family novels, I show how critiques and re-imaginings of the familystate idiom permeated Russian literature during the major liberal opening of Alexander II's reforms. Chapter one draws on the insights of historians and political theorists to argue that Russian contributions to liberal thought have been obscured, much like those of France and Germany. I propose that this is due to the affective dimensions of liberal opposition to autocracy and its familial rhetoric in Imperial Russia. Imperial Russia's liberal opposition did not simply de-center the familial in favor of the individual. Instead, Russian thinkers explored complex re-imaginings of family life that would go hand-in-hand with the nurturing of free and liberal individuals. Chapter two interprets Sergey Aksakov's Family Chronicle through this lens, putting scholarship on lichnost and Russian sentimentalism in conversation with Rousseau's complex critique of and contribution to liberal thought. Chapter three focuses on Ivan Turgenev, who was a friend of Aksakov and admirer of his literary works. However, as a self-proclaimed liberal, Turgenev takes Aksakov's familial picture of liberality a step further. Whereas Aksakov's liberal sentiments were the exclusive privilege of the nobility and their kin, Turgenev's liberal sentiments required that Russian nobles sacrifice their rational interest in preserving serfdom and extend affective attachment to Russian peasants held in bondage on their family estates. I provide my own interpretation of Turgenev's King Lear of the Steppes, revising Isaiah Berlin's description of Turgenev's liberalism in the process. Chapter four examines Nikolay Chernyshevsky's What Is to Be Done? as a direct response to Turgenev's Fathers and Children. Highlighting the influences of J.S. Mill and Robert Owen on Chernyshevsky, I argue that the latter takes liberal ideas to their most radical point, espousing the need for the eradication of class and gender hierarchies in both the understanding of family life and political freedom. The fifth and final chapter of the dissertation emphasizes the fact that liberal-minded thinkers in Imperial Russia rarely focused solely on the rational and legal rights of the individual. Rather, the promise of liberalism often entailed a reimagining of affective relations, whether in Aksakov's cultivation of enlightened family life on the noble estate, in Turgenev's imperative for the nobility to dutifully care for the freedom and well-being of Russian peasants, or in Chernyshevsky's belief in the transformative power of radical egoism.
