The revised Norton Critical Edition is based on Michael Katz's translation oof the 1863 novel, wich is introduced and annotaded specifically for Englich-speaking readers.
"Backgrounds and Sources" includes relevant selections from Dostoevsky's letters to his brother (written 1859-64); an excerpt on socialism and Christianity from one of Dostoevsky's notebooks; an excerpt from "winter Notes on Summer Impressions," the author's account of a formative visit to the West; an excerpt from N. G. Chernyshevsky's novel What Is to be Done?, the utilitarian themes of wich Dostoevsky adresses in Notes from Underground; and, new to the second edition, excerpts from V. F. Odoevsky's "Russian Nights" and I. S. Turgenev's "Hamlet of Schoigrovsk District."
Since it's publication, Notes from Underground has been emulated and parodied. In assembling varied responses to the text, Michael Katz links this semi novels to the theme of the underground man in works of M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin, Woody Allen, Robert Walser, Ralph Ellison, Yevgeny Zamyatin, and Jean-Paul Satre.
"Criticism" includes a wilde range of interpretations by both russian and western critics from the nineteeth and twentieth centuries, among them Nikolai Mikhailovsky, Vasily Rozanov, Lev Shestov, M. M. Bakhtin, Ralph Matlaw, Victor Erlich, Robert Louis Jackson, Gary Saul Morson, Richard H. Weisberg, Joseph Frank, and Tzvetan Todorov.
A Chronology and updated Selected Bibliography are also included.

Depois da grande decepção com O Idiota, valeu a pea ler outro livro de Dostoyevsky. Amei o livro. Nāo vou mentir que ainda não curto o estilo do autor de transformar o que é para ser um dialogo em monólogo, mas a profundidade da história aqui conseguiu superar esse detalhe. Que história! O livro descreve a mente atormentada de um homem anti social, abusivo, manipulador e arrogante. A dualidade da personalidade com tendências abusivas é abordada de forma muito precisa nesse livro: a baixa autoestima e arrogância de se achar intelectualmente superior. Assim também, são as duas facetas seu cenário emocional: a plena consciência de saber que ele tem escolhas más para si e para os outros, mas escolha consciente de fazê-las mesmo assim.
