- Abstract:
This is the first publication of four letters by outstanding literary and textual critic V.L. Komarovich, addressed to the well-known historian of Russian literature P.E. Shchegolev, stored in the archive of A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of Russian Academy of Sciences. They enrich the understanding of the context of the birth of the science about F.M. Dostoevsky in the seminaries of A.K. Borozdin and S.A. Vengerov in Petrograd University in the 1910s, clarify the circumstances of the initial stage of its development in the dialogue between Petrograd, Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod researchers associated with the publication of unknown texts of the great writer (omitted chapter of the novel “Demons” — “At Tikhon’s”) and newfound facts of his biography (the root causes of breakup with V.G. Belinsky and close friendship with A.N. Pleshcheev in the 1840s). Publishing letters are considered as a part of the forthcoming publication of V.L. Komarovich “Articles and studies on F.M. Dostoevsky”.
