She is the author of The Annihilation of Inertia: Dostoevsky and Metaphysics, the editor of Dostoevsky's ""The Idiot"": A Critical Companion, and the coeditor of Approaches to Teaching Tolstoy's ""Anna Karenina.""

“Makes an invaluable contribution to Tolstoy studies and the theory of the novel. Knapp's comparative readings highlight biographical, philosophical, religious, and literary roots of the 'hidden labyrinth of linkages' that connect the two plots of Anna Karenina." - Elizabeth Cheresh Allen, Bryn Mawr College“Knapp shows how material details . . . are woven through the different plots of the novel, and in the process turn into poetic tropes contributing to grand themes. The examples she gives are utterly convincing.”—Slavic and East European Journal
