metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article analyzes the book by the famous German literary historian O. L. B. Wolff
  (1799–1851), The Fine Literature of Modern Europe (1832), in which an attempt was
  made for the first time to create a canon of European literature, which at that moment
  was a substitute for the non-existent canon of world literature. This article provides a
  comparative study of Dutch, Danish, and Swedish literatures in this work, which introduced
  Dutch, Swedish, and Danish authors Little-known at the time to the general
  reading public outside their own countries. The introduction of this forgotten source
  allows us to reconstruct the criteria for evaluating “Northern” literatures within the
  circle of “major” European literatures and to identify a “set” of those writers who, from
  the author’s perspective, deserved some attention and could therefore form a canon
  for the literatures described, which only partially coincides with the modern canon.
  Of particular interest is the comparison of the German text of the book with its Russian
  translation, published in 1835, which contains elements of a veiled polemic with
  the German scholar, manifested not only in cuts made and the stylistic treatment of
  Wolff ’s value judgements, but also in replacing certain sections by texts of Russian origin
  whose authorship was established for the first time in the article. The juxtaposition
  of the original text and its Russian translation demonstrates a discrepancy of perceptions
  about the hierarchy of specific literatures within the constitutive canon of the
  period and the translator’s desire to place Russian literature at the forefront, which he
  saw eclipsing the literatures of the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark.
