The topic of the article places it within the overlapping boundaries of literary criticism, the history of 19th-c. men’s suits, and memoirs.The methodology of the study involved comparing all contemporary descriptions of I. Annensky’s appearance with his photographs as well as Parisian fashion magazines with articles on men’s fashion, in particular, on collars and neckties; it was mostly these items of his wardrobe that caught the eye of the people who wrote about Annensky. And if it seems that descriptions like ‘overly ceremonious’ and ‘old-fashioned’ begin to dominate the memoirs, it is not because of Annensky alone but rather that, instead of recording what they saw with their own eyes, their authors tend to engage in a dialogue protracted in time and defined by contradictions, concessions and repetitions. The scholar concludes that, not only in his poetry but also in appearance, Annensky was a direct successor of the French poètes maudits with their dandyism. Interestingly, there was no contradiction between Annensky’s poetry and dandyism and his bureaucratic airs; in fact, dandyism and the Decadent fondness for beautiful artefacts perfectly coexisted with the distinguished public office of this Tsarskoe Selo resident.

Totaldigteren Grundtvig: En kommenteret forskningshistorisk oversigt som bidrag til bestemmelsen af Grundtvigs egenart som digter[The Total Poet Grundtvig. A commented survey of the history of literary Grundtvig research as a contribution to the understanding of Grundtvig 's character as a poet]By Bent ChristensenIn his Omkring Grundtvigs Vidskab (About Grundtvig’s Vidskab: An Inquiry into N. F. S. Grundtvig’s View of the Knowledge Aspect of the Commitment to Life that Is a Necessary Part of Christianity), the author first and foremost sees Grundtvig as a “kirkelig og folkelig totaldigter” (total poet of the church and the people). The term “total poet” is analogous to “total theatre”, in which the spectator is drawn into the drama and the actors mingle with the audience.An extensive examination of the poetic aspect of the said commitment is desirable but outside the scope of this article. This commented survey of the literary Grundtvig research and criticism therefore presents some key points in the understanding of Grundtvig as a “total poet”.First, following an exchange of views with Poul Borum regarding the various attempts to use Grundtvig for certain purposes, there is an analysis of the extended text of Gustav Albeck’s lecture “Har Grundtvig-Selskabet forsømt Digteren Grundtvig?” (Has the Grundtvig Society Neglected the Poet Grundtvig?). Albeck provides an overview of the Grundtvig literary research and criticism from the nineteenth century till Poul Borum’s book Digteren Grundtvig (Grundtvig the Poet), and he shows that the study of Grundtvig’s poetry requires a different approach than that of usual literary criticism and research.Next, Albeck’s own contribution Omkring Grundtvigs Digtsamlinger (About Grundtvig’s Collections of Poems) is dealt with. Albeck especially calls attention to Grundtvig’s half jocular characterisation of himself as a “deponentisk digter” (deponent poet - the term “deponent” from Latin grammar indicating passive form and active meaning in verbs). It is pointed out that the active side of Grundtvig’s efforts eventually developed into an actual historical and political interactive commitment increasingly centring on the idea of “Folkelighed” (meaning both what comes from and what pertains to “the people”).In Grundtvigs Symbolverden (Grundtvig’s Universe of Poetic Symbols), Helge Toldberg focuses on mapping all main symbols which Grundtvig since 1814/15 constantly draws upon in his poetry. From his chosen perspective of theories on symbolism, Toldberg registers a number of connections and associations which are also being considered in Omkring Grundtvigs Vidskab.Already in Fra drøm til program (From Dream to Programme: The Place and Significance of Human Life and Its World in the Theology of N. F. S. Grundtvig), the author agrees with Flemming Lundgreen-Nielsen’s understanding of the year 1819 as the year when Grundtvig places himself totally outside ordinary poetry. And he also agrees with Lundgreen-Nielsen in so far as his concept “selvsymbolik” (self-symbolism) is concerned. But according to the author, the literary scholar Flemming Lundgreen-Nielsen does not go sufficiently deep into the matter when sticking to the question as to whether Grundtvig, despite his unique character, still has a sense of common literary poetic factors. The contrast between “aesthetics” and “poetry” in Grundtvig’s works is not only a contrast between the “total poet Grundtvig” and “aesthetics” but also a contrast between the merely “aesthetic” and the poetical depth dimension as a whole. But Flemming Lundgreen-Nielsen provides an apt expression of Grundtvig’s unique character as a poet when saying in Det handlende ord (The Operative Word: The Poetry, Literary Criticism and Poetics of N. F. S. Grundtvig 1798-1819) (1980) that Grundtvig’s book is composed as a progression from the 15-year-old schoolboy’s exercise books to “Grundtvig understood by himself as a symbolic character in the history of Denmark”.In Digteren Grundtvig (Grundtvig the Poet), Poul Borum looks upon Grundtvig as a “total poet”, stressing above all his qualities as a “poet” and taking a “total poetic” view of him as the prophet bard (“skjalde-profeten”).Finally, Hans Hauge’s reply to Poul Borum called “Alt-i-alt” (All in all) is considered. Hauge’s conception of Borum’s book as belonging to the aesthetic and literary 1980s, placed between the political 1970s and the universalising 1990s, seems particularly interesting. However, it is hard to tell Hauge’s own notion of Grundtvig as a poet.In conclusion, the author suggests that it is specific to Grundtvig that, for one thing, within a peculiar historical vision or construction and in a peculiar, highly unified, symbolic world, he conducts an extensive and continuous interweaving of the nation and his own fate, and that, for another, Christianity is almost always included in his poetry.

The paper discusses five monographs by Jovan Deretić, which the author considers "accompanying books" of his History of Serbian Literature. These are: Marko Kraljević's riddle - about the nature of historicity in Serbian folk epics, The path of Serbian literature - identity, borders, aspirations, Poetics of Serbian literature, Serbian folk epics and Etudes from old Serbian literature. In this paper, we analyze them as a contribution to the interpretation of the History of Serbian Literature, the most comprehensive history of literature in Serbian science to the extent that they are important as proof of Deretić's great synthesis and consideration of the function of literary criticism in Serbian culture. An important definition of the "accompanying books" is provided by the author in their prefaces and notes. It is summarized in the theoretical and applied level in the process of considering important issues of Serbian literary history: periodization and classification of literature, poetic or historical determinants and the significance of particular epochs, writers, or genres. A review of the critical evaluation of Serbian literature and historical and cultural heritage in the accompanying books shows that Deretić pragmatized his scientific thought and reaffirmed literary criticism, directing it "for the benefit of the people". This means that he gave it a practical and social function and intended it "for a distant generation".

Stereotypical Image

The journal of Ksenofont A. Govorsky “Vestnik Yugo-Zapadnoy I Zapadnoy Rossii” (“South-West and West Russia Herald”) is known in the history of pubic thought as odious and reactionary. However, this stereotypical image needs some revision: the anti-Polish discourse on the pages of the magazine was not so much nationalistic as anti-aristocratic in nature. Considering the “Poles” primarily as carriers of the aristocratic principles, the editorial board of the magazine claimed to protect the broad masses of the people. Throughout its short history, the magazine consistently opposed both revolutionary and aristocratic propaganda. However, the regional limitations of the problems covered in the magazine did not give it the opportunity to reflect on the essential closeness of the revolutionary and reactionary principles. Yu.F. Samarin and I.S. Aksakov – whose conservative-democratic views, on the whole, were close to “Western Russianism”, promoted by the authors of “Vestnik Yugo-Zapadnoy I Zapadnoy Rossii”, managed to reach that goal.

lmost all estimates of the figure of Alexander Solzhenitsyn are not related to literary criticism. Most studies evaluate his role, intentions and results. His figure is assessed in the context of the fate of the country, public perception and attitude to the country, which is Motherland for some, and mental and political enemy for the others. And for this purpose it is not even important who is right from the historical and political point of view. The point is who and how perceived the USSR and the entire Soviet project. Solzhenitsyn is seen as the enemy of the USSR and the Soviet project by those who popularized and helped him, and also according to his self-evaluation. Therefore, for those who identify themselves with the Soviet Union, its heritage and the entire Soviet project Solzhenitsyn represents the enemy and bearer of evil. For those who are hostile to the Soviet Union and the Soviet project, Solzhenitsyn is an ally in their struggle and bearer of good. Which of these parties is right is the issue of history and morality. 66% of Russian citizens support the first point of view, and the second point of view is supported by 25% of the population. Nowadays 88 % of Russian citizens know who Solzhenitsyn was. 31% consider him to be moral authority for them. 8% of the people believe that Solzhenitsyn presented true facts in his books.

Crisis Situations

The book of Jeremiah reflects a particular period in the history of Judah, certain theological perspectives and a particular portrayal of the prophet Jeremiah. Covenant theology played a major role in Jeremiah’s view of life and determined his expectations of leaders and ordinary people. He placed high value on justice and trustworthiness, and people who did not adhere to this would in his view bear the consequences of disobedience to Yahweh’s moral demands and unfaithfulness. The prophet expected those in positions of leadership to adhere to certain ethical obligations as is clear from most of the nouns which appear in Jeremiah 5:1–6. This article argues that crisis situations in history affect leaders’ communication, attitudes and responses. Leaders’ worldviews and ideologies play a definitive role in their responses to crises. Jeremiah’s religious views are reflected in his criticism and demands of people in his society. This is also true as seen from the way the people and leaders in Judah responded to the prophet’s proclamation. Jeremiah 5:1–6 emphasises that knowledge and accountability are expected of leaders at all times, but in particular during unstable political times.
