Variant issue of the second edition in English in book form. This authorised translation of Tolstoy’s Resurrection by Louise Maude was first introduced to English readers in instalments in the journal The Clarion, starting in March 1899. The novel was then published during the course of 1899 and in early 1900 by the Brotherhood Publishing Company in thirteen separate parts, and in June 1900 the present edition was compiled from remainders which were bound up and published as one volume. An earlier one-volume illustrated edition appeared in March 1900.

Great interest was aroused in English readers by the appearance of Tolstoy’s novel, the proceeds of which were to go towards helping the Doukhobors, a religious group, to flee persecution in Russia and settle in Canada.
