Full textAbstract:
Three magazines of the 19th century are considered as models of historical and patriotic publications. S. N. Glinka’s «Russkiy Vestnik» was devoted to issues of national identity and pursued the goals of national education. N. I. Grech’s “Syn Otechestva” developed “permitted” military-patriotic themes for three years, and from 1815, it turned into a typical literary and artistic magazine. P. P. Svinin’s “Otechestvnnye zapiski” that came out after the Napoleonic wars sought to popularize various aspects of national life. During the analysis, the vulgar sociological assessments of Soviet literary criticism of three magazines are corrected and the modern understanding of patriotism, associated with the term “conservatism”, is characterized.

Full textAbstract:
While the antagonism of modernism to realism has often been commented upon, its equally vehement rejection of romanticism has not been as widely discussed. Yet, if modernism compromised at times with realism or, at least, with a "naturalistic" version of realism, its total antipathy to the fundamentals of romanticism has been absolute. This was a modernist trend that covered both literature and criticism and a modernist characteristic that extended from German philosophers, French poets to British and American professors of literature. Names as diverse as Paul Valery, Charles Maurras and F.R. Leavis shared a common anti-romantic outlook. Many of the important modernist literary trends like the Anglo-American imagism, French surrealism, German expressionism and Italian futurism have been antagonistic not only to ordinary realism as a relic of the 19th century, but also, and fundamentally, to that century's romanticism. In nihilistically breaking with everything from the past, or at least the immediate past, they were by definition anti-romantics. Even writers like Bernard Shaw or Bertolt Brecht and critics like Raymond Williams or George Lukacs, who would generally be regarded as in the pro-realist camp, have, at times, exhibited, to the extent that they were afflicted with the modernist ethos, strong anti-romantic tendencies.

The article examines the works of the writers of the 19–20th centuries, where various types of deacons are represented, assessed either as positive or as negative types by the clerical criticism. The images of the deacons did not reflect the sophisticated reality of clerical practices. Still, literary works familiarized the wider readership with these practices. Clerical critics analyzed the respective works from the religious and moral point of view, and modern literary scholars do not always fully take this into account.

Golovnin: Features of Documentary and Fiction Prose." Nauchnyi dialog 11, no. 10 (January 5, 2023): 177–94. http://dx.doi.org/10.24224/2227-1295-2022-11-10-177-194.
Full textAbstract:
Observations are presented on the features of the documentary and artistic organization of the book by V. M. Golovnin “Journey of Russian Imperial Sloop “Diana” from Kronstadt to Kamchatka...” (1819). Such issues as the thematic content of “Journey...”, the role of the author’s worldview in creating a single artistic whole, and the features of the aesthetic organization of documentary material are considered. The significance of the study is seen in the need to update the memory of the personality and literary work of V. M. Golovnin, an outstanding figure of Russian culture at the beginning of the 19th century. The presented material will allow supplementing with new facts the picture of the genre and style genesis of documentary and artistic genres in the Russian historical and literary process of the early 19th century. The relevance of the study is determined by the attention of modern literary criticism to the poetics of documentary and artistic genres. The novelty of the research is seen in the appeal to a little-known work of Russian literature of the first third of the 19th century. It is reported that the author showed the maritime way of life with its regulations, traditions, experience of intercultural communication. The work is considered in the main thematic lines: everyday life of a round-the-world sea expedition, seascape, battle studies, ethnographic sketches. It is noted that a value-semantic principle is revealed behind the empirical material, which gives the narrative artistic completeness and deeply brings Golovnin's “Journey ...” with the tradition of Russian classical literature.

Full textAbstract:
As the Croatian lands were exposed to often aggressive Austrian, Hungarian, and Italian politics until WWI and in some regions even later, so Croatian music criticism was written in the Croatian, German and Italian languages. To the best of our knowledge, the history of Croatian music criticism began in 1826 in the literary and entertainment journal Luna, and was written by an anonymous author in the German language.A forum for Croatian language music criticism was opened in Novine Horvatzke, i.e. in its literary supplement Danica horvatska, slavonska i dalmatinska in 1835, which officially started to promote the Croatian National Revival, setting in motion the process of constituting the Croatian nation in the modern sense of the word. However, those articles cannot be considered musical criticism, at least not in the modern sense of the word, as they never went beyond the level of mere journalistic reports. The first music criticism in the Croatian language in the true sense of the word is generally considered a very comprehensive text by a poet Stanko Vraz (1810-51) about a performance of the first Croatian national opera Ljubav i zloba (Love and malice) by Vatroslav Lisinski (1819-54) from 1846. In terms of its criteria for judgement, that criticism proved to become a model for the majority of 19th-century and later Croatian music criticism. Two judgement criteria are clearly expressed within it: national and artistic.Regardless of whether we are dealing with 1) ideological-utilitarian criticism, which was directed towards promoting the national ideology (Franjo Ksaver Kuhač, 1834-1911; Antun Dobronić, 1878-1955), 2) impressionist criticism based on the critic’s subjective approach to particular work (Antun Gustav Matoš, 1873-1914; Milutin Cihlar Nehajev, 1880-1931; Nikola Polić, 1890-1960), or 3) Marxist criticism (Pavao Markovac, 1903-41), we may observe the above mentioned two basic criteria. Only at the end of the period under consideration the composer Milo Cipra (1906-85) focused his interest on immanent artistic values, shunning any ideological utilitarianism, and insisting on the highest artistic criteria.

Pervushin, Nikolay S. "Fear of Chaos: Sociological Interpretation of Demand for Detective Genre." Chelovek 33, no. 1 (2022): 139. http://dx.doi.org/10.31857/s023620070019079-3.
Full textAbstract:
The essay offers a sociological analysis of the origin and popularity of the detective genre. There are many explanations for the phenomenon of the popularity of the detective genre, but they do not answer the question why the genre became relevant in the middle of the 19th century and remains so until now. Its genesis and role are interpreted in the middle and late 19th century and in the modern world. The moment when the detective genre emerged approximately coincides with the birth of classical sociological theories. Both sociology and the new literary genre are reflections on the changes that took place in the 19th century. The detective reflects current social problems and new technologies. The classic detective contains many typical features of positivist, functionalist, Weber and Marxist discourses. The essence of detective discourse is built into the ideas of faith in the scientific method and the morality of order, criticism of the capitalistic social system and the possibility of understanding social actions and motivation of different characters. The demand for a detective today is crucially connected with the rapid technological and social changes that take place today, and the Future Shock caused by them, described by Alvin Toffler. The pace of technological change is noticeably ahead of human adaptation to a new social reality. A person is forced to somehow endure or overcome this severe state for the psyche. Reading detective stories creates a short-term illusion of the possibility of mitigating and overcoming the Future Shock. However, reading or viewing a detective story does not provide a real chance to adapt to the liquid modernity.Such an important psychotherapeutic function is unique among literary and movie genres, so it can be predicted that detectives, despite the skepticism of many critics and intellectuals, will remain in demand and relevant in the future.

Flack, Corey. "Is Dante a pilgrim? Pilgrimage, material culture, and modern Dante criticism." Forum Italicum: A Journal of Italian Studies 55, no. 2 (July 4, 2021): 372–98. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/00145858211021554.
Full textAbstract:
The phrase “Dante the pilgrim” has become commonplace within scholarship on the Commedia as a way to refer to the character within the text who travels the Christian afterlife, as distinct from “Dante the poet,” the voice which narrates the poem. Yet, despite such prevalence, the validity of the term “pilgrim” goes rather unquestioned by scholars. This study aims to challenge the label through Dante’s own definition of a peregrino in the Vita nuova as “chiunque è fuori de la sua patria” (XL.6), a definition that shows a more nuanced understanding of the term than modern scholarship acknowledges. Instead, by tracing out the legacy of the term “Dante the pilgrim” as emerging from late 19th-century criticism such as Francesco de Sanctis’s Storia della letteratura italiana, this article will show that the typical understanding of pilgrim ignores a central dimension of Dante’s own definition: a sense of physical displacement. For Dante, pilgrimage becomes constitutive of the virtual world in the poem, drawing off of material practices of travel to inform the physical experiences of the protagonist. This literal level, signified by an embodied protagonist in similar ways as pilgrims to holy sites interacted with those places, is fundamental for interpreting the larger theological truths Dante conveys, even in minute details such as kicking rocks in Inferno 12.

Full textAbstract:
The vast majority of current scientific research devoted to the phenomenon of solitude is performed within the framework of psychology, sociology, and literary criticism. However, these inquiries deal with specific manifestations of the multidimensional phenomenon of solitude, eliminating its nature and fundamental philosophical and anthropological essence, which is hidden behind secondary layers of empirics. The task of this investigation is to consider the phenomenon of solitude among representatives of the world’s philosophical thought of modern times, in whose teachings it has received the fullest expression, in particular among representatives of existentialism, philosophy of life, phenomenology, and psychodynamic theory, including K. Jaspers, N. Berdyaev, M. Buber, M. Heidegger, E. Levinas. Despite the noticeable outburst of engagement with the phenomenon of solitude in the philosophy in the mid 19th – mid 20th centuries, interest in it did not disappear, as evidenced by current works designed to bridge the gap identified by predecessors. Despite the differences in views on the nature of solitude and its impact on the personality, as well as on the moment when a person encounters their solitude, these thinkers have something in common – they all necessarily consider solitude through the lens of the Other (be it a specific individual or a whole society) and recognize it a necessary condition for both true knowledge of things and self-knowledge. Regarding the discrepancies in views on solitude, they may be caused by the “terminological chaos” that still prevails when considering this issue. The terms “seclusion”, “alienation”, “isolation”, “loneliness”, and actually “solitude” are used to denote various manifestations of this phenomenon, often without distinguishing them; classifications of solitude are built through descriptive definitions. The lack of clarity should be overcome by distinguishing related but different concepts and developing a unified approach to the relationship between the essence of the concept and its various lexical expressions. Such a clarification is achieved in this article by identifying commonalities and indicating differences in the works of modern philosophers, who were most interested in the phenomenon of solitude, assigning it an important place in their own philosophical explorations.

Borunov, A. B. "Game Strategies as a Principle of Creating Supertext Unity in Work of B. Akunin." Nauchnyi dialog 12, no. 1 (February 7, 2023): 213–31. http://dx.doi.org/10.24224/2227-1295-2023-12-1-213-231.
Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the strategies for creating a prosaic super-cycle by Boris Akunin by referring to the technique of the game as a through cycle-forming principle. The relevance of the proposed analysis is due to the fact that the potential for creating principles for creating supertextual unity requires additional research in Russian literary criticism, since in modern literature a number of authors resort to this particular model of arranging their works (in addition to Akunin, these are, for example, Pelevin, Rubina, Vodolazkin, etc.). The novelty of the study is due to the research of how the works of the “Fandorin corpus” are combined into a supertext integrity due to a number of game tactics, including the tactics of an enigmatic-game dialogue with the reader. The classic canon of the detective, set by 19th-century authors, involves a game with the reader based on the calculation of the criminal, and this game is hermetic. Akunin, explicitly referring to the 19th century in the annotations to the New Detective series, opens the game system in the text of the detective story, offering the reader to enter an interactive quest at will. The same principle is used in other works of the “Fandorin corpus”.

Fresquet, Roso Maria. "Estudio sobre el género, las funciones y la calidad literaria del best seller. Los best seller híbridos en España y estudio comparativo con los autores más vendidos en Francia." Doctoral thesis, Universitat de Barcelona, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/403875.
Full textAbstract:
En esta tesis se aborda el corpus poco estudiado de los best seller. Se ofrece una visión panoràmica desde su primer boom en España y se identifica el tipo de obras que venden más que, como veremos, son las de naturaleza híbrida. La selección que realizamos de las obras se da desde el punto de vista del lector, es decir, las obras que estan a su alcance, ya sean de autores nacionales o bien traducciones. Adems, hemos contrastado los resultados del anàlisis con los superventas en Francia en el mismo periodo de tiempo para poder ofrecer a nuestro estudio un término de comparación y que no resten unos resultados aislados, y así poder dar un alcance más amplio a nuestras conclusiones.
La delimitación de género ha respondido a una creación nuestra de un tipo de subgénero dentro del best seller, que sería el que creemos que tiene mas éxito: el best seller híbrido. Y dentro de este best seller híbrido (que concentra distintas características de distintos géneros literarios), aquellos que se basan en los géneros que mas éxito tienen: la novela histórica y la novela negra. Hemos dejado de lado los géneros de nicho, que tienen un tipo de público mas definido, como la novela erótica, la ciencia ficción o la novela juvenil.
El best seller híbrido -una herencia del folletín del siglo diecinueve- es el que tiene ahora éxito junto a las novelas de género. Este best seller híbrido se caracteriza por una pretensión literaria y, de hecho, su hibridismo responde a una unión muy conveniente entre la herencia del folletín -en el que la aventura es el núcleo esencial y se complementa con elementos de todos los géneros populares- y dicha pretensión literaria, que surge cuando la obra no se identifica con ningún género en concreto. Esta pretensión también se alimenta de elementos que hemos ido viendo a lo largo de los anàlisis, elementos que hacen que se eleve en nivel cultural de la lectura, tales como la aportación de información de forma explícita o el retoricismo sensacionalista y superficial, que responde a una voluntad de dignificación de la literatura de consumo.
También tratamos la sociación de best seller con mala calidad literaria. A nivel literario, hemos visto que la calidad literaria no tiene por qué contraponerse con el hecho de vender mucho.
Así mismo, hemos contrastado diferentes formes de enfocar el fenómeno para ofrecer una perspectiva global de éste y hemos ofrecido tres tipus de definicions del fenómeno: econòmica, sociològica y literaria. En cuanto al enfoque literario, que es el nuestro, hemos optado por considerar el best seller como un genero literario en tanto que el lector así lo considera. Lo cual nos lleva al objectivo principal de la tesis, que es reforzar la teoria literaria del best seller como genero, esbozar sus características discursives más representatives y ver qué necesidades lectores están cubriendo, que denominaremos funciones.
Tras el anàlisis del corpus, hemos detectado tres funciones características del genero best-seller: la contemporaneidad, la transversalidad y la conservación. También hemos detectado trss elementos que, a nivel de trama, se articulan para canalitzar estas funciones, como son: el secreto, el abuso o la injustícia y la mujer como nuevo héroe. Estos tres elementos se entrelazan en la trama a través de nexos, que son técnicas de suspense, y que ameniza la aventura: “cliffhangers”, diálogos para que se entienda todo lo expuesto, un narrador omnisciente y, en general, técnicas narratives del XIX.This dissertation addresses a corpus that has not yet been studied in depth. The purpose is to provide an overview of best sellers since their first great impact in Spain and identify the most successful type of works which, as we will later see, are those with a hybrid nature. The works have been selected from the reader's point of view, that is, the works selected are those readers can have access to, whether the authors are national or have been translated. The results of the analysis have been compared to best sellers in France during the same period of time so that they will not be examined in absolute and isolated terms and the conclusions can have a larger scope. Firstly, for the purposes of this dissertation I have created a new subgenre within best sellers, which serves to identify the most successful works: hybrid best sellers. And then, within hybrid best sellers (books that have the characteristics of different literary genres), those that are based on the most successful genres: historical and crime novels. I have not considered niche genres, such as erotic novels, science fiction or children's and young adults literature, as these have a more specific audience. Hybrid best sellers and genre novels are currently the most successful books and their origin dates back to 19th century serialised novels. The main characteristic of this type of hybrids is their literary ambition. This hybridism comes from a very convenient combination of the legacy of serialised novels (in which adventure is the main core, together with other elements taken from all popular genres) and literary ambition, which appears when the work is not identified with a specific genre. The literary ambition also feeds from the elements that I have identified in the analysis of these works, which raise the cultural level, such as giving information in an explicit way or superficial and sensationalist rhetoric, which is caused by the will to dignify consumer literature. Secondly, I have examined the reasons why best sellers are associated with poor literary quality. On a literary basis, I have come to the conclusion that there is no direct relationship between literary quality and high sales. Thirdly, I have compared different ways of approaching this phenomenon in order to provide both a global perspective and economic, sociological and literary definitions. As to the literary approach, I have considered the best seller as a genre itself, as that is what readers consider them. This leads us to the main purpose of this dissertation, which is to reinforce the literary theory of the best seller as a genre, to outline its most important discourse characteristics, and to find out what reading needs it covers. I shall refer to these needs as functions. After analysing the corpus, I have noticed three elements that work on the plot level to channel these functions: secrets, abuse or injustice, and woman as the new heroine. These three elements intertwine in the plot by means of links that work as suspense techniques and make the adventures more enjoyable: cliff-hangers, dialogues that help readers to understand every bit of the plot, an omniscient narrator and, generally speaking, 19th century narrative techniques.

Louw, Denise Elizabeth Laurence. "A literary study of paranormal experience in Tennyson's poetry." Thesis, Rhodes University, 1991. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1002292.
Full textAbstract:
My thesis is that many of Tennyson's apparently paranormal experiences are explicable in terms of temporal lobe epilepsy; and that a study of the occurrence, in the work of art, of phenomena associated with these experiences, may be useful in elucidating the workings of the aesthetic imagination. A body of knowledge relevant to paranormal experience in Tennyson's life and work, assembled from both literary and biographical sources, is applied to a Subjective Paranormal Experience Questionnaire, compiled by Professor V.M. Neppe, in order to establish the range of the poet's apparently "psychic" experiences. The information is then analysed in terms of the symptomatology of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), and the problems of differential diagnosis are considered. It is shown, by means of close and comparative analyses of a number of poems, that recurring clusters of images in Tennyson's poetry may have their genesis in TLE. These images are investigated in terms of modern research into altered states of consciousness. They are found to be consistent with a "model" of the three stages of trance experience constructed by Professor A.D. Lewis-Williams to account for shamanistic rock art in the San, Coso and Upper Paleolithic contexts. My study of the relevant phenomena in the work of a nineteenth century English poet would seem to offer cross-cultural verification of the applicability of the model to a range of altered-state contexts. This study goes on to investigate some of the psychological processes which may influence the way in which pathology is manifested in the poetry of Alfred Tennyson. But, throughout the investigation, the possible effects of literary precursors and of other art forms are acknowledged. The subjective paranormal phenomena in Tennyson's poems are compared not only with some modern neuropsychiatric cases, but also with those of several nineteenth-century writers who seem to have had similar experiences . These include Dostoevsky and Edward Lear, who are known to have been epileptics, and Edgar Allan Poe. Similarity between some aspects of Tennyson's work and that of various Romantic poets, notably Shelley, is stressed; and it is tentatively suggested that it might be possible to extrapolate from my findings in this study to a more general theory of the "Romantic" imagination.

Elston, Suzanne Poteet. "Garrison Keillor and American Literary Traditions." Thesis, University of North Texas, 1988. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc500338/.
Full textAbstract:
Although Garrison Keillor is perhaps best known as the creator and host of Minnesota Public Radio's A Prairie Home Companion (1974-1987), the focus of this study is his literary career. Keillor's literary accomplishments include a successful career as a writer for The New Yorker and two best-selling books about the fictional town of Lake Wobegon, Minnesota, entitled Lake Wobegon Days (1985) and Leaving Home (1987). His literary style incorporates elements from several traditions in American literature--the precise, sophisticated "New Yorker style" practiced by writers such as E. B. White and James Thurber; the oral tradition prominent in the works of Mark Twain and the nineteenth-century literary comedians; and the satiric realism associated with the small-town literature of writers such as Sherwood Anderson and Sinclair Lewis.

Kuhns, Julia Sophie. "The pre-19th-century manuscript tradition and textual transmission of the Early Modern Irish tale Oidheadh Con Culainn : a preliminary study." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2009. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/1236/.
Full textAbstract:
The Early Modern Irish recension of the tale relating Cú Chulainn’s death, Oidheadh Con Culainn, has received comparatively little scholarly attention, especially compared with its Early Irish counterpart, Aided Con Culainn. Consequently, little is known about the textual transmission and manuscript tradition of the Early Modern Irish tale. The present thesis seeks to rectify this and give a more accurate view and preliminary analysis of the extant manuscripts, concentrating on the manuscripts that date to before the 19th century. A core element of this thesis is a draft catalogue of these pre-19th-century manuscripts. Taking advantage of the tale’s prosimetric structure, it will be argued and demonstrated that it is possible to classify the manuscripts of Oidheadh Con Culainn into distinct groups. Within the extant manuscripts preserving the tale we can identify a number of versions of it, differing most notably in the poetry that they contain. The classification of the manuscripts into groups can be established on the basis of the poetry that a version of the tale contains; the emerging groups thus established can be used to comment on the transmission of the tale. In order to corroborate the argument for the manuscript groups, we will explore a number of aspects of the text and the manuscripts, such as textual comparisons on both intra- and inter-group levels, possible relations (e.g. geographical) of the scribes, linguistic and metrical variations, the ‘rhetorics’, and different versions of the tale written by the same scribe. The thesis will further investigate the most famous poem from the text, Laoidh na gCeann (‘The Lay of the Heads’), in order to establish to what extent the evidence from the poem can be used to add to our understanding of the transmission of the overall tale.

Full textAbstract:
According to 19th-century philologist Jernej Kopitar, elite literary traditions and modern written languages originated in folk literature. Leading Slovenian intellectuals of his day, however, including poet France Prešeren and linguist and critic Matija Čop, favored classic poetic forms reminiscent of the Italian Renaissance. In Slovenian literary history, Kopitar has remained a figure of secondary importance; nonetheless, his role in other South Slavic cultures was preeminent. We examine several attempts to revert this tendency and to ascribe to Kopitar, and not only to Čop, a leading role in Slovenian nation-building.

AbstractConsidering the emerging field of architecture and artificial intelligence, it might be necessary to contemplate the remodeling of the concept of authorship entirely. The invention of authorship is a complex historical process that can be traced back to the emergence of print culture in Europe in the 15th century. Prior to this period, most literary and artistic works were created anonymously or attributed to collective or anonymous sources, such as folklore or religious traditions. However, with the rise of printing, texts became more easily reproducible and marketable, and there emerged a need for individual authors to take credit for their works. The notion of authorship was closely tied to the idea of originality and ownership, as authors sought to assert their exclusive rights to their works and to distinguish themselves from other writers. This was supported by the development of copyright law, which granted legal protection to authors and their works, and helped to establish a market for literary and artistic works. The idea of the author as a singular, autonomous figure gained further prominence in the 18th and 19th centuries, with the emergence of romanticism and the cult of the individual. This period saw the rise of the idea of the artist as a genius, whose works were the product of their own unique creativity and imagination. This idea was further reinforced by the rise of literary criticism, which focused on the interpretation and analysis of individual works and their authors. However, as Michel Foucault and other scholars have argued, the notion of authorship is not a universal or timeless concept, but rather a historically contingent and culturally specific one. Different societies ad cultures have different understandings of authorship, and these have shifted over time in response to changes in technology, culture, and social values. As it stands now, authorship in its traditional form can hardly be applied in a context where automated collaborations provide more than 50% of the generated material. This is true for multiple art fields. Visual Arts (Mario Klingemann, Sofia Crespo, Memo Atken, Ooouch, etc.), Music (Dadabots, YACHT, Holly Herndon), Literature, etc. Very soon this will also be true for Architecture. The consequence is also an entire rethinking of the concept of the sole genius. This notion, developed by German Romanticists in the early 19th century, is, in the current context of AI-assisted creativity, completely obsolete, as we are drawing from the genius of hundreds of thousands of artists and artworks in order to interrogate the latent space for unseen artistic opportunities. More akin to an archeological dig leading to the discovery of a next-generation jet fighter plane.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This chapter surveys the Bengali writer Mahasweta Devi’s influential and less-remarked texts, including her novels, short stories, and nonfiction. Utilizing Sisir Kumar Das’s notion of Indian literature as a dialogic formation, it situates Mahasweta’s retelling of regional, national, and world history—such as her sprawling historical fiction ignored by most critics—with particular attention to literary form and experiments with style and idiom. Translated into multiple Indian languages, Mahasweta’s writings signal an awareness of what is here termed Indian literature from below; departing from recent discussions that view Indian literature as an offshoot of 19th-century orientalist discourse, this chapter illuminates an ebullient strand of decolonizing intellectual thought and practice that in remarkable ways reworks classical and premodern traditions and juxtaposes folk-popular culture with the global modernist avant-garde. In doing so, it bridges the gap between urban educated classes and marginalized populations in India: anti-state rebels, women, Dalits, and Adivasis.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter charts the establishment of equality language in colonial and postcolonial Marathi publications about Vārkarī literature and traditions and recovers earlier Vārkarī ways of envisioning the relationship between bhakti and caste. Liberal and some nationalist authors between roughly 1854 and 1930 mined sectarian literatures and stories to construct a non-sectarian sense of regional identity. This held special importance because of how vital Marathi literary history has been for imagining the region’s social history. More critical views were voiced by low-caste authors and secular rationalists in the late 19th century, and later by Marxist historians. Food featured prominently in pivotal events in many of these proponents’ and critics’ lives. Having described the formation of modern discourse around bhakti and equality, the chapter starts recovering the earlier devotional and nondualist Marathi terms that modern equality language displaced.

In its original form this chapter was delivered at a late-1970s forum sponsored by the Commission on the Status of Women in the Profession of the Modern Language Association. It had a kind of underground, mimeographed existence for a few years before seeing print in Feminist Studies in 1983. It has made its way and continues, I think, to be useful for those studying the canon. I have therefore not undertaken to change it. Judith Fetterley has raised one important criticism of the piece. In her fine introduction to Provisions: A Reader From 19th-century American Women (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1985, pp. 18–19) she argues that the exclusion of nineteenth-century women writers from the literary canon began far earlier than the 1920s, in fact during the nineteenth century itself. There is significant evidence to support that contention. John Macy’s 1911 volume The Spirit of American Literature, for example, devotes its sixteen chapters to sixteen white men, though his “Preface” expresses admiration for the work of Jewett, Freeman and Wharton, and even passingly for Stowe. Brander Matthews’ similar volume, An Introduction to the Study of American Literature (1896, rev. 1911), focuses fifteen chapters on individual white men and then devotes one to “other writers,” including Whitman and Stowe. These very likely reflected the state of much academic opinion, though volumes like An American Anthology, 1787–1900 (ed., Edmund Clarence Stedman, 1900) and Mildred Cabell Watkins’ young adult primer, American Literature (1894) offer countervailing evidence. And, of course, as I outline in the article, other older academics like Fred Lewis Pattee and Arthur Hobson Quinn offered a far wider version of American letters. Fetterley thus provides what I think is a useful corrective to broad generalizations about academic canons, especially with respect to early and mid-nineteenth-century writers. But the central point, in my view, is that dominantly male academic accounts of the American canon were far less weighty around the turn of the century than they became in and after the 1920s.

Full textAbstract:
The French period of D.S. Merezhkovsky needs additional coverage and more detailed research. From a literary point of view, D.S. Merezhkovsky — the author of the article “On the causes of decline and new trends in modern Russian literature”, fundamental for the literature of the late 19th century, is known in the period of post-revolutionary (lifetime) emigration by other texts. The corpus of translations of the writer’s works that are directly related to Russian literature and Russian classics includes four major books published during his lifetime: “L’âme de Dostoïevski, le prophète de la révolution russe” (1922), “Compagnons éternels” (1922), “Le mufle-roi. L’avènement du Cham” (1922) and “Gogol et le diable” (1939). In the interwar period, these texts present to the French reader Merezhkovsky’s critical heritage. An extensive number of reviews in the French press (about 30 texts) are published on them. The paper examines this little-known literary heritage in French and provides translations of some excerpts from reviews of the books cited above. Reviews in French can bring some new perspective on Merezhkovsky’s work and on the theme of the Europeanness of the writer.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Classicists have long taken it for granted that an acquaintance with the literary criticism of the ancients is a useful skill for the student of their literature to master. This rather general and often unarticulated assumption, part of a larger professional concern with unanachronistic historical fidelity, has recently been given a much sharper focus in the work of Francis Cairns and Malcolm Heath. The latter scholar in particular has claimed, not merely that ancient literary criticism is a useful supplement to the critical apparatus of the modern scholar, but that ancient literary criticism is in effect the only apparatus which the modern scholar may use for the purpose of ‘poetics’, an activity defined as ‘a historical enquiry into the workings of a particular system of conventions in a given historical and cultural context’. In the case of fifth-century Attic tragedy, for example, despite the fact that we have no contemporary critical testimony to speak of outside Aristophanes, we are assured by Heath that ‘even a fourth-century writer is a priori more likely to be a reliable guide to tragedy than the unreconstructed prejudices of the modern reader’.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter contributes to the story of how and where criticism functions in early modern France by analysing descriptions of présence d’esprit or ‘presence of mind’, which emerge in the mid-1650s as a way of signalling quick thinking. Présence d’esprit is clearly associated with the salons, where it is required for participation in literary and linguistic games, and emerges simultaneously at a crucial juncture in Blaise Pascal’s Lettres provinciales (1656–7), where it is used to shine a satirical light on the casuistry of the Jesuits. In both contexts, the attribution of présence d’esprit can be both negatively and positively accented. It crystallizes anxiety about the privileging of spontaneity and instinct over careful curation and the work of scholarship. These ambivalent views, mirroring changing attitudes to ‘la critique’, also demonstrate the complex interweave of poetics, rhetoric, and theology in the early modern period, and the places they share.

Until the introduction of printing technology during the 19th century, Siamese literature was disseminated and passed on in manuscript form only. Unfavorable climatic conditions, various adverse historical events and a lack of institutions responsible for the preservation of literary manuscripts hamper modern-day scholarly efforts to reconstruct Siamese literary history. In order to broaden the evidential basis available to scholars of pre-modern Siamese literature, qualitative as well as quantitative data were drawn from inventory lists of two manuscript collections, which hitherto had been in the possession of Prince-Patriarch Phra Paramanuchit Chinorot (1790–1853) and Prince Rakronnaret (1791–1848). Despite these records’ limited number and scope, they offer valuable insights into the size and composition of two private libraries, access to ancient and contemporary literary texts, as well as into the tastes of a highly educated mid-19th-century elite readership.

Full textAbstract:
It is difficult not to mention language reform when referring to Chinese literature modernization between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Language played a critical role in facilitating the escape of Chinese literature from Chinese medieval literary works in order to integrate into world literature. The language reform not only laid a foundation for modern literature but also contributed considerably to the grand social transformation of China in the early days of the 20th century. Chinese new-born literature was a literature created by spoken language; in Chinese terms, it was considered as a literature focusing on “dialectal speech” instead of “classical Chinese” used in the past. In international terms, it can be named as living language literature which was used to replace classic literary language in ancient books – a kind of dead language. This article will analyze how language reform impacted Chinese modern literature at the beginning of the 20th century.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the historical and literary significance of the memoirs of a Baltic German about Latgale. The space between Ilukste and Daugavpils has been little studied. The data about individual estates and their owners is fragmentary. The study is a separate part of a large regional and literary study dedicated to the Baltic Germans living in the territory of Latgale and in Daugavpils region. The aims of the study are to establish a connection between the text of the book and geographical and personal realities, as well as to reveal the relationship of the Baltic Germans with the population of Latgale from a perspective of self-reflection. Understanding “myself” in the eyes of others and “others” in one’s personal perception is getting more relevant as studying these interactions on the basis of literary texts opens for understanding of the current processes in modern society. The specific tasks are to promote a national issue on the material of the given text as well as to determine a link between the memoir text and the jokes of the Baltic Germans (Pratchen), the features of which have been defined in the authorized studies. The text is understood as an object of scientific cognition in which there are no random linguistic or substantive units. The methodology of research is based on the interpretation of a literary text as well as the synthesis of statistical analysis, immanent critique and content analysis. In the course of the study, it was possible to establish a structural and substantive link between individual episodes of the book with the Baltics jokes (Pratchen). For the peoples who inhabited Latgale (southeastern part of Latvia) in the 18th and 19th centuries, the national issue was not decisive, especially among rural people. Difference in perception of oneself and “myself” in the eyes of others was determined by different social status: Germans are the landowners, the rest are servants and badgers. The mental character of the Baltic Germans was shaped, first and foremost, by the family upbringing and education level, commonly university. The key values were love for their native land, pride for their ancestors, honor and service to the state, and faithfulness to the word. On the basis of the life realia described in the book, it is possible to reconstruct the way of life of the people who disappeared from the map of modern Latgale. The research is funded by the Latvian Council of Science, project “The Baltic Germans of Latgale in the context of socio-ethnic relations from the 17th till the beginning of the 20th century” project No. lzp-2020/2-0136.

Full textAbstract:
Studies of the issue of the study of the cultural and educational component of the modern Olympic movement make it possible to single out two groups of publications: the first of which includes works devoted to the socio-philosophical problems of physical culture and sports in general; the second - the analysis of the goals and objectives of the Olympic movement, its ideals and values, Olympism as a philosophical and cultural concept. At the same time, the content of the cultural and educational component of the Olympic movement remains a topical issue. The ancient Olympic Games are the starting point for understanding the Olympic symbols and rituals, their new interpretation and revival at the end of the 19th century by the founder of the modern Olympic movement, Baron Pierre de Coubertin. Studies allow us to note that the cultural and educational heritage of the ancient Olympic Games should be considered in two directions: material artifacts (architecture, literary and artistic works, sculptures, household items, etc.) and spiritual values (kalokagatiya, athlete’s honor code, ekehiriya and others). The cultural and educational component of the modern Olympic movement can be considered in terms of the following components: environment, artifacts, language, documents, symbols, heroes, stories, rituals, ceremonies.
