The earlier writers up to Pushkin and Gogol - the founders of modern literature - are treated in a short sketch; then I move on to the chief masters of poetry, novella, drama, political literature, and criticism, and around these I have grouped the less excellent writers, the majority of whom are dealt with in brief notes. I am well aware that each of these latter offers something of his own and would be worth being explored in more detail. I also know that some of the lesser-known authors have occasionally portrayed certain schools of thought better than their more famous colleagues. But in a book intended only to give a broad general idea of the subject, the approach I chose was commanded.” (from the author’s introduction 1906)
