Поречникова (псевдоним Н.Д. Хвощинской) как критика. Восемь писем не просто посвящены актуальной отечественной словесности, но позволяют выявить совокупность взглядов Хвощинской на насущные задачи литературы и их воплощение. Критик пишет либо о том, чего в литературе нет, либо чего быть не должно: излишнего обличения и развлечения, слепого копирования действительности (дагерротипирования), чрезмерного увлечения прошлым и т. п. Автор статьи приходит к выводу, что все рассмотренные в «Провинциальных письмах» произведения соотносятся с умозрительно существующей моделью реалистического романа, при сопоставлении с которой критик не отдает предпочтения никому: ни известным писателям (А.К. Толстому), ни женщинам-писательницам (А.Я. Панаевой и др.). Таким образом, по мнению Хвощинской, реализм в литературе первой половины 1860-х гг. остается в значительной мере воображаемым конструктом.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The material of ‘Provincial Letters about Our Literature’ is used in the article as a basis for considering the literary position of V. Porechnikov (pseudonym of N.D. Khvoshchinskaya) as a critic. Eight letters are not simply concerned with the actual domestic literature but allow to reveal the whole of Khvoshchinskaya’s views on the urgent tasks of literature and their realization. The critic writes either about what is not to be found in literature, or what should not be: excessive denunciation and entertainment, blind copying of reality (daguerreotyping), excessive fascination with the past, etc. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that all the works considered in ‘Provincial Letters’ correlate with the speculatively existing model of the realistic novel, when compared to which the critic does not favour anyone: neither famous writers (A.K. Tolstoy), nor women writers (A.Ya. Panaeva et al.). Thus, according to Khvoshchinskaya, realism in the literature of the first half of the 1860s remains a largely imaginary construct.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Н.Д.
