The review considers the monograph of the famous Polish specialist in the history of Old Russian literature, Eliza Małek. The monograph is a study of the “The legend about the astrologer Mustaeddin by Krzysztof Dzerzhek in the Old Russian translation and its later pro-cessing (research and publication of texts)”. The relevance of investigating the text written in Poland in the 16th century is highlighted. Not only does the monograph trace the existence of the Legend in Russia in the 17th – 19th centuries, but it also describes all known editions of the 18th – 21st centuries. Of particular interest are the texts of the Legend presented in the monograph, and no less valuable is the analysis that was carried out.

Russian philosopher A. D. Kantemir is an Enlightener, poet, and translator of Fontenelle, recognized in the history of Russian culture, who laid the foundation for Russian philosophical terminology. His literary work, translation and political activities contributed to the transformation of Russian aesthetic consciousness, since they were a stage in the development of cultural ties with Europe, in the development of Russian philosophical and literary artistic culture, in particular, in the development of the language of Russian literature and philosophy. In the poetic “Satire VII. About upbringing” in the language style of the 18th century, Kantemir presented a number of thoughts about upbringing that are quite modern and give an idea of the aesthetics of childhood in the project of Russian educational thought.

The article critically examines some techniques used in post-Soviet polemics based on the material from E. Abdullayev's note “New Understanding and old myths” (book review of Esaulov I. A. Russian Classics: New Understanding. St. Petersburg, Russian Christian Humanitarian Academy Publ., 2017) and traces the dependence of the interpretation and evaluation of the literary scientific system on the axiological views of the author of the description. At the same time, it demonstrates the influence of axiology on evaluation of philological work. The negative ideologems of the Soviet philological science and their presence in the philological practice of our time are revealed. A reduced understanding of the task of historical poetics (and poetics in general), which is characteristic of both Soviet philology and influential post-Soviet publications, prevents the construction of a new history of Russian literature and the identification of the role and place of Christian tradition in the text and subtext of works of Russian classical literature.

The History of Russian Literature provides a comprehensive account of Russian writing from its earliest origins in the monastic works of Kiev up to the present day, still rife with the creative experiments of post-Soviet literary life. Five chronological parts by design unfold in diachronic histories; they can be read individually but are presented as inseparable across the span of a national literature. Throughout its course, this History follows literary processes as they worked in respective periods and places, whether in monasteries, at court, in publishing houses, in the literary marketplace, or the Writers’ Union. Evolving institutional practices used to organize literature are themselves a part of the story of literature told in poetry, drama, and prose including diaries and essays. Equally prominent is the idea of writers’ agency in responding to tradition and reacting to larger forces such as church and state that shape the literary field. Coverage strikes a balance between extensive overview and in-depth thematic discussion, addressing trans-historical questions through case studies detailing the importance of texts, figures, and notions. The book does not follow the decline model often used in accounts of the nineteenth century as a change-over between ages of prose and poetry. We trace in the evolution of literature two interrelated processes: changes in subjectivities and the construction of national narratives. It is through categories of nationhood, literary politics, and literary life, forms of selfhood, and forms of expression that the intense influence of literature on a culture as a whole occurs.

The actuality of the undertaken research is conditioned by the necessity to study the role of Russian literature and journalism, separate linguistic programs of the middle of the 18th century in assertion of the main characteristics of the literary standard, which began to take shape in 80 years of this century. The aim of the scientific study is to analyze the similarities and differences between the linguistic theories of A. Sumarokov and V. Trediakovsky, to establish the place of this polemic in the history of Russian literary language of the 18th century, its significance for the formation of the literary standard. The language material is the original text of Sumarokov's article To typographers (K tipografskim naborshhikam), published in the May issue of the journal Trudolyubivaya pchela (1759). The system of views of scholars and writers of the mid-18th century on the Russian language are presented by means of descriptive and comparative methods with revealing the specifics of each language concept. An integral part of the methodology was the observation of the word usage in the texts by A. Sumarokov and V. Trediakovsky. The use of methods of linguoculturology made it possible to present linguistic polemics as a phenomenon of Russian culture. The extra-linguistic method and the method of reconstruction from historical sources were used to establish the phenomena of extra-linguistic reality that influenced the problems of the philological discussion. The results of the research showed that the extra-linguistic reason for writing the article was determined, the tradition of the writers' appealing to the typesetters in the history of domestic printing of the first half of the 18th century was traced, the group of works with which Sumarokov-philologist enters polemics was determined, the main concepts of the article were identified, the position of Sumarokov from the point of view of normalization of graphic, morphological, orthographic practice in the middle of the 18th century was fixed; the article by Sumarokov was considered in accordance with the concept of metatextual unity in the world. The prospects of the research relate to the fundamental theoretical development of the role of 18th century Russian literature in the formation of the Russian literary language standard.

Science, medicine and dissent: Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) (papers celebrating the 250th anniversary of the birth of Joseph Priestley together with a catalogue of an exhibition held at the Royal Society and the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine) , edited by R. G. W. Anderson & C. Lawrence (pp. ix + 105). Published by Wellcome Trust and Science Museum, London, 1987, £9.95. The contents of this book are described accurately by a title of 18th- century amplitude. Priestley is remembered by chemists as the man who did most to establish the technique of pneumatic chemistry, for his discovery of ‘dephlogisticated air’ or oxygen, and for his refusal to abandon the phlogiston theory when confronted with Lavoisier’s revolution. He is occasionally remembered by physicists for his interest in electricity and optics. He was, however, a man of many other parts and the essays in this book deal, almost entirely, with these other aspects of his thought. Perhaps their scope is best illustrated by brief quotations from each of them since these are sometimes more revealing, in both substance and style, than the titles. They are as follows: C. Lawrence, ‘In this paper I shall outline Priestley’s biography and point to some areas in it where medicine was of importance.’ J. H. Brooke, ‘The paper had its origin in the realisation that I had been studying Whewell and Priestley, with different objects in view, and largely disregarding the stereotypes to which they have often been assimilated. It occurred to me that, despite the obvious problem of chronology, a comparison between their respective apologias for science might be instructive,...’.

The article discusses the introductory chapter of the History of One City by M.Ye. Saltykov-Shchedrin and argues that the interpretation of the villainous Roman emperors (Caligula and Nero) by the fictional author of the introduction as a kind of symbolic figures - models for famous rulers - was inspired by the assessment of the “glorious” crimes of the French robber Cartush in the introduction of Matvei Komarov’s book The Story of the Swindler Van’ka Cain . The author of The History of One City , using the model of assimilating a morally flawed domestic historical personality to foreign criminals, replaces the ingenuous admiration characteristic of the pretext with an ironic one. The parallel with the book about Van’ka Kain is not the only echo with the works of Russian literature of the 18th century in the introduction to the chronicle of Saltykov-Shchedrin. The text of introduction also reveals a correlation with the Ode of 1747 by M.V. Lomonosov.
