Excerpt from Master and Man: The Kreutzer Sonata Dramas The Kreutzer Sonata has probably been more misunderstood than any other of Count Tolsto'i's writ ings. The ravings of a man self-confessed insane have been taken as the personal views of the author of the monologue. The subject is not agreeable, the narration is exasperating, the whole thing is a study in morbidity. Yet underneath the murderer's confession, underneath the insane extravagance, is the Christian teaching in regard to sexual morality. Christ's teaching is either right or wrong. There is no mincing matters, and this Count Tolstoi shows in his postscript to the Kreutzer Sonata, the translation of which is due to Mr. Aylmer Maude of England, whose long residence in Russia and friendship with Count Tolsto'i make him an authority on his philosophy.
