Crime and punishment contains over three hundred individualized descriptions of non-humorous laughter. When viewed through the prism of laughter Crime and Punishment is at odds with its traditional interpretations, some of which are challenged in this study. New facts about the book and about Dostoevsky's novelistic technique emerge, as well as cross-cultural details that afford occasional glimpses into the workings of Dostoevsky's unconscious mind and into his use of materials that do not appear to have come under his deliberate artistic control.
