Leo Tolstoy: another premature obituary
I've just looked up Wikipedia's list of premature death announcements and they haven't got Leo Tolstoy. Does that make this a scoop?
The Times had been speculating for some days about Tolstoy's decision to get himself to a monastery [click on the links to read the original Times pages]. Peter Kropotkin wrote to the paper from Muswell Hill to clarify that the Count was unlikely to be having a religious crisis: "Let me say that 'retiring to a monastery' does not mean becoming a monk. In several Russian monasteries a log-hut, built on the monastery's lands, in its woods, may be hired or a new log-hut may be built, by someone who intends to retire from the worldly life".
On November 17, 1910, appeared the news that Tolstoy had died, with an obituary and leading article. The following day there was a news story: "At 4 o'clock this morning the St Petersburg newspapers learned from Moscow that the news of Count Tolstoy's death was untrue", and a couple of days later an apology, of sorts: "We greatly regreat that in common with the chief Russian newspapers and practically the Press of the whole world, we published on Thursday last a premature announcement of Count Tolstoy's death." The Times had been speculating for some days about Tolstoy's decision to get himself to a monastery [click on the links to read the original Times pages]. Peter Kropotkin wrote to the paper from Muswell Hill to clarify that the Count was unlikely to be having a religious crisis: "Let me say that 'retiring to a monastery' does not mean becoming a monk. In several Russian monasteries a log-hut, built on the monastery's lands, in its woods, may be hired or a new log-hut may be built, by someone who intends to retire from the worldly life".
The obituary was not reprinted, but there was an appreciation by Dr Charles Hagberg Wright, the librarian of the London Library. Hagberg Wright had visited Tolstoy a couple of years earlier, to deliver the 80th birthday greetings of 700 or so well-wishers. He described his visit in a letter to The Times.
