LITERARY CRITICISM / Comparative Literature, Literary studies: poetry and poets
"Gronicka gives an admirably concise, learned, and well-documented factual account of Russian literary relations to Goethe. . . . He makes use of unpublished materials and offers rich notes and an admirably complete bibliography."
"Von Gronicka's book represents the first study in a western language which deals with the interpretation of Goethe in Russia and with the creative reception of Goethe's oeuvre in Russian literature. . . . The interaction of Goethe with Russian literature represents an important phase in Russia's Geistesgeschichte."
"Von Gronicka has brought to his task a sensitive mind, at home in both the literatures involved, and remarkable powers of organization and condensation. What he has done here toward a reasoned and balanced conspectus of Goethe's early impact on Russia is novel and should prove highly durable."
"It is a 'must' for every student with interest in this field."
"This study is by no means merely a philological treasure-trove, a compendium for Goethe-researchers. Rather it is a thoroughly readable, scholarly work with appeal to a broad reading public. One eagerly awaits the appearance of the second volume."
