Перу Белинского принадлежит свыше 100 статей, рецензий и заметок о театре. Он подчеркивал: «Театральная хроника» необходима в журнале как дополнение к «Библиографической хронике». Считая театр «источником народного образования», так как он позволяет «видеть на сцене всю Русь с ее добром и злом, с ее высоким и смешным». Белинский дает, по сути дела, общую характеристику русской драматургии 1840-х гг.

Аннотация
Эта книга, с одной стороны, нефилософская, с другой – исключительно философская. Ее можно рассматривать как исследовательскую работу, но в определенных концептуальных рамках. Автор попытался понять вселенную Тарантино так, как понимает ее режиссер, и обращался к жанровому своеобразию тарантиновских фильмов, чтобы доказать его уникальность. Творчество Тарантино автор разделил на три периода, каждому из которых посвящена отдельная часть книги: первый период – условно криминальное кино, Pulp Fiction; второй период – вторжение режиссера на территорию грайндхауса; третий – утверждение режиссера на территории грайндхауса. Последний период творчества Тарантино отмечен «историческим поворотом», обусловленным желанием режиссера снять Nazisploitation и подорвать конвенции спагетти-вестерна.
Аннотация
А. К. Шеллер (псевд. – Михайлов) – один из популярных беллетристов 60–70-х годов, посвящавший свои произведения преимущественно теме «новых людей». Салтыков внимательно следил за творческой эволюцией писателя, видя в ней яркую иллюстрацию несостоятельности утилитарной эстетики, которую отстаивал журнал «Дело». По мнению Салтыкова, противопоставляя чистую тенденциозность глубокому знанию жизни, подлинной художественности, теоретики и беллетристы из журнала «Дело» чрезвычайно суживают возможности литературы, обрекая ее на поверхностное, «разговорное негодование», на «махание картонным мечом», на примитивность и однообразие. Задача литературы – «анализировать и исследовать» действительность, а не отделываться «каким-нибудь общим местом».
