Chapter 36 Translator's Notes on "The Genius of Human Nature——Karshin" [1]

Translator's Notes on "The Genius of Human Nature——Karshin" [1] The writing method of Lvov-Rogachevski's "A Brief History of Russian Literature" is often a little different for each article, such as this one, which is really just a sketch (3), but it is very concise. This time, I will translate this article first, which is not meaningful.It is simply because some of Garsun’s works mentioned in it have been introduced more than twenty years ago ("Four Days", "Encounter"), and some have been introduced five or six years ago ("Safflower") [4], readers can read more easily. It is clear that there are comments but no translated works for viewing, only groping in the dark.

Needless to say, however, Garsun is only a part of the history of literature, and without looking at the overall situation, he still cannot fully understand it—this shortcoming will be made up for in the future.
