Talk:The Landlady (novella)

"Reception" 6 June 2013
I've added back "narodnost" as it is part of a quote, and added an editor clarification in square brackets within that quote. It seems likely that narodnost, a word of developing meaning, means what I have now written per here, and is most likely the earlier meaning, as Belinsky had died (see here) perhaps before the meaning had changed to that definition of "radical critics", such as Nikolay Dobrolyubov mentioned in Britannica. I am taking a bit of a stab, but I think it the safer option, unless someone has a more specific timeline for this shifting term. I removed the adjective fantastic as it has duel meaning, and as I don't think the reviewer meant that the work was wonderful or excellent, but absurd, strange, and eccentric, but I'm not sure what single word to add that doesn't imply criticism -. I've given the pen name of Titov in case someone wrongly thinks it might be spaceman Vladimir Titov. Acabashi (talk) 13:22, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
