Apie Maironį : Maironio kritinės recepcijos rinktinė (1890-2010)

ENThis book is an anthology of critical reception of the works of one of the most famous Lithuanian writers Jonas Mačiulis-Maironis (1862-1932). The texts, originally published from 1891 to 2008, explore how the interpretation of Maironis and his works changed during the Tsarist Russian occupation of Lithuania, the interwarperiod, the Nazi occupation and the Soviet occupation, as well as in independent Lithuania and in Lithuanian emigre communities. Even though this book includes most of the classic texts that analyse and interpret Maironis' body of work, it is not an anthology of the best and most important critiques of the writer. The articles included in this tome were selected to portray the history and evolution of his critical reception. The vast number and variety of texts that examine Maironis and his works means that every attempt to systemise the history of the relevant critical reception creates a version or studies an aspect of said history. Therefore, this book is also but a version of the critical reception of Maironis. This anthology includes fifty texts which are chronologically grouped into four chapters. [...].
