Abstract
This is a study of the use of medical text by Alexander A. Izmailov, Korney I. Chukovsky, and Alexander V. Amfiteatrov, leading Russian critics of the early 20th century, in feuilletons published in mass periodicals. The article considers two situations when critics used medical terminology in their critical responses to literary texts. One type of such a critique addressed literary texts that were related to medical issues and themselves contained medical terminology. In other cases, the use of medical terminology in critical responses was not called forth by the contents of the criticized texts. This study examines the reasons why the terminology associated with the practice of medicine became part of the critique. Moreover, this study reveals an evolution of the views of critics-feuilletonists on medical discourse and points out that this phenomenon gave rise to a serious dialogue between medicine and literature.
