I like it because it captures the Zeitgeist of pre-revolutionary Russia through the lens of the outsider just before WWI, without the hindsight of later historians. I checked the index to see whether Lenin was included, and he was multiple times, so he wasn't an obscure thinker by 1913.

The author wanted to show Russia to both Western and Russian audiences through the lens of Dostoevsky, but realized that a great deal of background material (for Westerners), history, and other thinkers had to be included, so a chapter on Dostoevsky appears only in volume 3.

I had this 1,500-page 3-volume edition on my list for quite some time, until I recently sourced a fine, almost-new 1968 hardcover set from a Galway bookshop and started reading a few days ago. This book was originally published in 1913 and translated from German in 1919.

I like that footnotes are on the same pages, and I already found a few interesting references. The spine could have been better, though.

It is not a collection of disjoint articles but a unified presentation history of movements, mechanisms, forms, and heroes. These four lines are crosses by various boxes: close readings, genres, places, narrative voices, critical frames, and literature beyond literature.
