Abstract

This study applies the literary theory of excellence to the study of Leo Tolstoyâ€™s Anna Karenina with a focus on bringing out issues of events, ambiguity, multivalence, characters, passages of excellence, philosophical thoughts and visions and other aesthetic features, which amongst others, form the foundations of literary excellence. Leo Tolstoyâ€™s novel has been generally classified as classics by many scholars and critics but the sources of its literary excellence have not been exhaustively discussed, especially in the perspective of this study. If it is said to be classics then there must be evidence in the work of the highest artistic order, lasting values and other features generally recognized as excellence. This research demonstrates the depth of representations of these elements of classics or masterpiece in Tolstoyâ€™s novel. The elements of greatness elicited from the text inform the conclusion of the work and its opinion that Leo Tolstoyâ€™s Anna Karenina is, indeed, an excellent and great novel.
