That, I think I knew. But in the book itself, she's not ever referred to as "Anna Karenina." And I was LOOKING. Instead, she was either referred to as "Mrs. Karenin, or a couple of times as "Anna Arkadyevna"--or something like that (can't remember exactly), and I couldn't figure out WHERE that name had come from AT ALL.
Arkadyevna is her maiden name. I believe Anna Arkadyevna is used when Tolstoy wants to distance her from the Karenin part and emphasize what she was before/her single mindset. I'm sure someone, somewhere has written a whole paper on it. Not that that means anything
