In his article “Between Author and Reviewer,” published in the June 1967 issue of Slavic Review, Mr. Konstanty Zantuan takes me to task for my review of Golenishchev-Kutuzov’s book on Slavic Renaissance literatures. A discussion of the wider issues raised by Golenishchev-Kutuzov’s book could be interesting. Unfortunately, it is not possible to conduct such a discussion on the basis of Mr. Zantuan’s article. Despite a self-assured tone and quite copious references to Polish scholarly literature, the article reveals poor orientation in die subject, and its author occasionally deals with the evidence in an inadmissible, cavalier way. An examination of a few instances taken at random should suffice to prove this.
