The literary reflec- tions of Dostoyevsky's visit to London are found in his travel feature Winter Notes on Summer Impressions (1863), a text in which the author makes fun, among other things, of the "ser- geant-majors of civilization," the hothouse character of the "orangery progressivists," and
his fear of the Baalish triumphalism of the World Exhibition palace.
