Объектом внимания в статье становится научно-публицистическое наследие выдающегося осетинского ученого, доктора филологических наук, профессора, лауреата нескольких престижных премий Тамерлана Александровича Гуриева. В статье исследуются проблемы осетинской нартологии, литературоведения, теории и практики художественного перевода. Объектом анализа в статье стали такие работы Гуриева, как «К проблеме генезиса осетинских нартовских имен», «Антропонимия осетинского нартовского эпоса», «Проблемы Нартиады», «Наследие скифов и алан», «Кто есть кто в аланской Нартиаде». В них освящаются особенности мотивов, сюжетов нартовского эпоса, их вариативность, связь с мировыми эпосами, образы героев, их характеры, мотивации поступков, эволюционные процессы их развития. Второй аспект содержания предлагаемой работы – проблема творчества К.Х. Хетагурова в научно-публицистическом наследии Т.А. Гуриева. В статье также анализируется та сторона Гуриева-литературоведа, которая связана с его талантом полемиста, способного отстаивать собственный взгляд на некоторые произведения Коста Хетагурова. Автор на основе глубокого понимания специфики басенного жанра, истории его формирования и развития убедительно опровергает мнение тех, кто считал басни Коста лишь переводами произведений его предшественников-баснописцев. Т.А. Гуриев, сопоставляя тексты басен К.Л. Хетагурова и И.А. Крылова, доказательно приходит к выводу, что великий осетинский поэт не прибегал к переводам уже известных басен, что его басни, если даже они основаны на мировых сюжетах, оригинальны, самобытны и глубоко национальны. Третий аспект научного наследия Т.А. Гуриева, нашедший отражение в настоящей работе, связан с анализом работ ученого, посвященных теории и практике художественного перевода. The object of attention in the article is that part of the scientific and journalistic heritage of the outstanding Ossetian scientist, doctor of philological sciences, professor, laureate of several prestigious prizes Tamerlan Alexandrovich Guriev. The article examines the problems of Ossetian nartology, literary criticism, theory and practice of literary translation. The object of analysis in the article was such works by Guriev as “On the problem of the genesis of Ossetian Nart names”, “Anthroponymy of the Ossetian Nart epic”, “Problems of Nartiada”, “The heritage of the Scythians and Alans”, “Who is who in the Alan Nartiada”. They sanctify the features of motives, plots of the Nart epic, their variability, connection with world epics, images of heroes, their characters, motivations of actions, evolutionary processes of their development. The second aspect of the content of the proposed work is the problem of K.Kh. Khetagurov in the scientific and journalistic heritage T.A. Guriev. The article also analyzes the side of Guriev as a literary critic, which is associated with his talent as a polemicist, able to defend his own view of some of the works of Kosta Khetagurov. The author, on the basis of a deep understanding of the specifics of the fable genre, the history of its formation and development, convincingly refutes the opinion of those who considered Costa's fables only translations of the works of his predecessors, fabulists. T.A. Guriev, comparing the texts of the fables of K.L. Khetagurov and I.A. Krylova, conclusively comes to the conclusion that the great Ossetian poet did not resort to translations of already known fables, that his fables, even if they are based on world plots, are original, distinctive and deeply national. The third aspect of the scientific heritage of T.A. Guriev, reflected in this work, is associated with an analysis of the scientist's works devoted to the theory and practice of literary translation.

M. Fabius Quintilianus was a prominent orator, declaimer, and teacher of eloquence in the first century ce. After his retirement he wrote the Institutio oratoria, a unique treatise in Antiquity because it is a handbook of rhetoric and an educational treatise in one. Quintilian’s fame and influence are not only based on the Institutio, but also on the two collections of Declamations which were attributed to him in late Antiquity. The Oxford Handbook of Quintilian aims to present Quintilian’s Institutio as a key treatise in the history of Graeco-Roman rhetoric and its influence on the theory and practice of rhetoric and education, from late Antiquity until the present day. It contains chapters on Quintilian’s educational programme, his concepts and classifications of rhetoric, his discussion of the five canons of rhetoric, his style, his views on literary criticism, declamation, and the relationship between rhetoric and law, and the importance of the visual and performing arts in his work. His huge legacy is presented in successive chapters devoted to Quintilian in late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Italian Renaissance, Northern Europe during the Renaissance, Europe from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Century, and the United States of America. There are also chapters devoted to the biographical tradition, the history of printed editions, and modern assessments of Quintilian. The twenty-one authors of the chapters represent a wide range of expertise and scholarly traditions and thus offer a unique mixture of current approaches to Quintilian from a multidisciplinary perspective.

This paper will construct a history of computational literary criticism (CLS) which has engaged statistical methods by providing an historical account of the journal articles as well as other publications which have advanced the field to the most significant extent since 1963. This paper divides the history of CLS into three distinct epochs, within each of which the methods and theories CLS scholars utilise undergo significant qualitative transformation. The decisive factor in each of these epochs is CLS’ relationship to traditional literary criticism. Partly as a result of this, CLS scholarship initially cleaves to organic theories of literary style and adopts a highly polemicised opposition to then-regnant post-structuralist theories of authorship.

The subject of the study is the cooperation of S. Efremov with Western Ukrainian periodicals as a page in the history of Ukrainian journalism which covers the relationship of journalists and scientists of Eastern and Western Ukraine at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. Research methods (biographical, historical, comparative, axiological, statistical, discursive) develop the comprehensive disclosure of the article. As a result of scientific research, the origins of Ukrainocentrism in the personality of S. Efremov were clarified; his person as a public figure, journalist, publisher, literary critic is multifaceted; taking into account the specifics of the memoir genre and with the involvement of the historical context, the turning points in the destiny of the author of memoirs are interpreted, revealing cooperation with Western Ukrainian magazines and newspapers. The publications ‘Zoria’, ‘Narod’, ‘Pravda’, ‘Bukovyna’, ‘Dzvinok’, are secretly got into sub-Russian Ukraine, became for S. Efremov a spiritual basis in understanding the specifics of the national (Ukrainian) mass media, ideas of education in culture of Ukraine at the end of XIX century, its territorial integrity, and state independence. Memoirs of S. Efremov on cooperation with the iconic Galician journals ‘Notes of the Scientific Society after the name Shevchenko’ and ‘Literary-Scientific Bulletin’, testify to an important stage in the formation of the author’s worldview, the expansion of the genre boundaries of his journalism, active development as a literary critic. S. Yefremov collaborated most fruitfully and for a long time with the Literary-Scientific Bulletin, and he was impressed by the democratic position of this publication. The author’s comments reveal a long-running controversy over the publication of a review of the new edition of Kobzar and thematically related discussions around his other literary criticism, in which the talent of the demanding critic was forged. S. Efremov steadfastly defended the main principles of literary criticism: objectivity and freedom of author’s thought. The names of the allies of the Ukrainian idea L. Skochkovskyi, O. Lototskyi, O. Konyskyi, P. Zhytskyi, M. Hrushevskyi in S. Efremov’s memoirs unfold in multifaceted portrait descriptions and function as historical and cultural facts that document the pages of the author’s biography, record his activities in space and time. The results of the study give grounds to characterize S. Efremov as the first professional Ukrainian-speaking journalist.


This chapter examines the nature of truth. It provides a classification of the main motives which are represented by the principal recent theories regarding the nature of truth. First, there is the motive especially suggested by the study of the history of institutions, by people's whole interest in what are called “evolutionary processes,” and by a large part of people's recent psychological investigation. This is the motive which leads many to describe human life altogether as a more or less progressive adjustment to a natural environment. The second motive is the same as that which, in ethics, is responsible for so many sorts of recent Individualism. It is the longing to be self-possessed and inwardly free, the determination to submit to no merely external authority. Meanwhile, the third motive has led to the discovery of what are novel truths regarding the fundamental relations upon which all of human thought and human activity rest.

This is the first critical biography of Xavier Marmier. The celebrity of Marmier was such that his death made headline news in most major newspapers in France. Marmier earned his reputation by being a traveller, travel writer, translator, literary critic, comparatist, journalist, novelist, poet, lecturer, linguist, ethnologist, social historian, and latterly as an outspoken member of the Académie Française. His work had a great deal of influence, both direct and indirect, on literary and intellectual developments in France, and also had a significant impact in a number of the countries he visited. Although his name still figures in studies of comparative literature or the history of travel writing, Marmier's innovations have gradually been eclipsed by his successors in various fields, resulting in the neglect of his overall achievements. Marmier's numerous and diverse achievements are assessed in their intellectual and historical context, and within the framework of his colourful and somewhat controversial private life. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of the history of nineteenth-century French literature and intellectual life, the history of literary criticism, travel writing, the introduction of foreign literature to France, and those with an interest in the intellectual, social, and cultural history of the regions Marmier visited.

The scientific report of an outstanding linguist and literary critic V. M. Zhirmunsky on his trip to Budapest in October 1962 to an International conference on comparative literature is published with comments and the introduction. This document is not only remarkable in the context of the history of Soviet-Hungarian scientific ties and intellectual exchanges between socialist countries, but also in the light of the history of literary criticism and Slavic studies. It’s interesting because the document reflects the views of the major scientist on the development of international scientific contacts, shows his criticism of the Soviet academic bureaucracy and cautious dissatisfaction with the existing system of science management. The report is also important in connection with the study of intellectual transfers in the Cold War era. The presented document reveals pain points in the history of Soviet science diplomacy. A detailed introduction shows the interaction of V. M. Zhirmunsky and his colleagues with Hungarian scientists, their joint research projects. A special place is given to the figure of Prof. István Sőtér, a prominent Hungarian literary critic and writer, who was the initiator of the 1962 conference. His relations with Soviet scientists, in particular, with Yu. G. Oksman, whom the Hungarian scientist tried in vain to invite to the aforementioned Budapest conference. At the same time, it is concluded that difficulties in the development of international relations of Soviet scientists, in addition to ideological reasons, were due to low management efficiency and bureaucratization.
