O esforço para criar uma crítica literária brasileira, bem como uma literatura autônoma e original, gerou uma dupla necessidade para os autores do século XIX: determinar os objetivos da crítica e estabelecer a definição e a caracterização da literatura brasileira. O objetivo deste trabalho é verificar como os principais críticos da fase realista-naturalista – Machado de Assis, Sílvio Romero, José Veríssimo e Araripe Júnior – posicionam-se em relação a esse duplo projeto, comparando as suas contribuições para a construção de uma epistemologia crítica, sobretudo para a definição e a caracterização da literatura brasileira e, conseqüentemente, para a fixação de um cânone que desse suporte a esses construtos. Entre as questões teóricas que direcionam a discussão do assunto proposto, destacam-se: o caráter histórico dos conceitos de literatura, periodização e literatura nacional; as complexas relações entre história, contexto cultural e discurso; e os compromissos ideológicos dos autores. Abstract The endeavour to create a Brazilian literary criticism, and also an autonomous literature, brought before the 19th century critics a double requirement: clarify the objectives aimed by criticism as well as define and characterize Brazilian literature. This work aims at examining how the realistic and naturalistic critics – Machado de Assis, Sílvio Romero, José Veríssimo e Araripe Júnior – stand with regard to that double project, by comparing their contributions for the construction of a critical epistemology, above all for the definition and characterization of Brazilian literature and, as a result, for fixing a canon that could support those constructs. Among the theoretical questions that steer the discussion about the proposed subject, the article emphasizes: the historical character of the concepts like literature, periodicity and national literature; the intricate connections between history, cultural context and discourse; and the ideological engagement of the authors.

The essays by Alcides Maya show the changements the 19th century literary criticism in RioGrande do Sul have undergone. In this respect, the essay “Machado de assis: algumas notas sobre ohumour” (1912) makes the reading of the passage from the naturalistic literary criticism to anotherbased on the questions of erudition and cosmopolitism, antecipating the very issues of contemporarycomparative approaches as in literature. The comparative approach to the study of the humour alsocontributed to revitalize the paradigms of the Brazilian literary criticism at the end do the 19th century,by rejecting the reducing aspects of nationalism and following the path initated by Machado de Assishimself in “Notícia de Literatura Brasileira: Instituto de Nacionalidade” (1873).

The purpose of the article is to study the sources and pedagogical interpretation of the "women's question". The subject of the research is the “women's question” and its artistic realization in the novels of Marko Vovchok. The analysis of the problem was carried out by integrating the traditional methods of Russian comparative historical literary criticism with new approaches to world literary criticism - gender, sociocultural, postcolonial, and feminist. As a result of the study, we came to the conclusion that the pedagogical views on the "women's issue" in the writer were formed and developed under the influence of communication with the Ukrainian and European intelligentsia of the 19th century. The progressive part of the intelligentsia of the second half of the XIX - early XX century advocated a change in the social status of women. Representatives of public and pedagogical opinion believed that a woman can not only be a mother, wife, housewife, she is capable of self-realization in other areas of society, for which she needs a decent education. The journalistic work on this problem of women with a possible comparative characterization of the regions of some European countries, which in the period under study were part of the Austro-Hungarian empires, deserves further study

The article examines the concept of an epic novel – a special historical genre phenomenon that arose as a result of the successful implementation by Russian classics of the second half of the 19th century. The author discusses the pseudo-names that appeared in Soviet literary criticism due to its politicisation and ideologisation back in the 1920s –30s and she shows that the terms of epic novel and epopee novel were used at the indicated time for the sake of the Communist party tasks, but contrary to their true meanings. As noted in the article, this required a rejection of the traditions of Russian classical literature, a rejection of the genetic memory of the universal vision of the world and human inherent in the epic novel. Analytical comprehension of the polemics of literary critics of different generations made it possible to show that a number of researchers who rightly saw the problem, forgot to “rehabilitate” the above concepts and transferred the line of denial of Soviet ideology to the terms themselves. The author of the article explains the importance of using the concept of an epic novel in its true meaning, in relation to the voluminous works of Russian classical literature.

The multi-level problems associated with the transformation of dramatic texts from one cultural context to another are examined in this paper, with reference to adaptations of popular European plays made specifically for use by all-male amateur groups in Quebec at the end of the 19th century. Some suggestions are offered concerning the general kinds of information to be gleaned from close multi-text analysis, the specific cultural indicators gatheredfrom this particular study, and the possibility of developing a usable 'theory of adaptation.'

The paper considers the methodological principles of Yu.I. Aykhenvald’s literary criticism. Attention is drawn to the relationship between Aykhenvald’s declared “immanent method” and “principled impressionism” and his own “philosophy of life”. It is proved that Aykhenvald’s version of “impressionism” is much closer to the theory of symbolism than it seemed to contemporaries and researchers. The analysis takes into account both the aesthetic “sympathies” (Apollon Grigoryev, Vladimir Solovyov, Oscar Wilde, Remy de Gourmont, Émile Faguet) and “antipathies” (Vissarion Belinsky, Vasily Rozanov), that influenced Aykhenvald’s interpretation of the heritage of literary critics, philosophers, and writers of the 19th century — Pushkin, Tolstoy, Chekhov.

The paper discusses a little-known Serbian poetess from the second half of the 19th century, Danica-Zorka Raskovic (1849-1910). Based on archival research and a lot of new information, it also features her compiled biography. All her poetical works which she wrote between ages 17 and 19 are presented in the text. They include: Eulogy (Slavopoj, two collections, 1866, 1867), Euphony (Milosplet, 1868) and Elegy (Tugospev, 1868). The last book, Elegy, composed as an integral work, is an attempt at writing an epic. Eulogy celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Principality of Serbia (1815-1865), glorifies the Obrenovic dynasty, especially Prince Mihailo, Anka Obrenovic and other persons. Literary criticism judged the seventeen-year-old poetess? work too harshly (S. Novakovic, V. Jagic). However, her appearance on the 1870s Serbian literary scene is interesting, because she is one of the oldest Belgrade poetesses.

In terms of newspaper-magazine reviews of Alexander Ostrovsky's works, published in the 1850s-70s, the problem of artistic text literary-critical evaluation is examined in the article. The author of the article assumes that artistic text evaluation is directly related to ideology and to the main request of time in terms of which, the text receives this assessment. According to Georgiy Fridlender, one of the most important tasks that Russian public life of the second half of the 19th century set for literature was to create an image of a viable and still positive hero. Alexander Ostrovsky in his work was oriented to answers to the most pressing social requests. Nevertheless, his works often did not satisfy his contemporaries, and sometimes insulted their moral feelings. An attempt to trace how the negative moral and ethical assessment of the playwright's creative work was conditioned and the role that newspaper and magazine criticism played in shaping the literary process is undertaken in the article.
