Challenges of Neoclassicism

Summary/Abstract: The need for completeness, chronology, re-evaluation and a new classification in Lithuanian literature emerged just after Lithuania had regained its independence. When the most famous historian of Lithuanian literature of the twentieth century Vytautas Kubilius published his seven hundred-page version of history in 1995, the author was accused of conservative attitudes.

At the time, few historians of literature supported Kubilius but in time it turned out that his history was basic, as one must accommodate oneself to newer methodological approaches.
