# Talk:The Landlady (novella)

I've added back "narodnost" as it is part of a quote, and added an editor clarification in square brackets within that quote. It seems likely that narodnost, a word of developing meaning, means what I have now written per here, and is most likely the earlier meaning, as Belinsky had died (see here) perhaps before the meaning had changed to that definition of "radical critics", such as Nikolay Dobrolyubov mentioned in Britannica. I am taking a bit of a stab, but I think it the safer option, unless someone has a more specific timeline for this shifting term. I removed the adjective fantastic as it has duel meaning, and as I don't think the reviewer meant that the work was wonderful or excellent, but absurd, strange, and eccentric, but I'm not sure what single word to add that doesn't imply criticism - [1]. I've given the pen name of Titov in case someone wrongly thinks it might be spaceman Vladimir Titov. Acabashi (talk) 13:22, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

I understand you are actively responding an open review on a monolithic article. Therefore, I am empathetic if you cannot respond rapidly. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 05:13, 7 June 2013 (UTC)


### Lead and infobox
This is fine.


### Plot
This is a unique work indeed. The beginning of the plot conforms with his archetype, but sorcery, clairvoyance, and predestination differ greatly from his other works. Psychology, as always, plays a central role however. Anyway, this section passes.


### Background
Fine here.


### Theme and style
This section passes as well. I draw parallels to Raskolnikov as well, although the characters do differ in many ways.


### Reception
It is certainly unique!


### Conclusion
Excellent work. I have noticed you have nominated numerous Dostoevsky articles, and (due to the importance of the subject matter and your excellent work) would encourage you to continue. I will pass the article immediately! Congratulations!  QatarStarsLeague (talk) 03:23, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
