Abstract
The author discusses the forms of relationship between literary fiction and reality, on the assumption that one interacts with the other. By analyzing a number of love letters that date to three different periods of the past two centuries, he delves into the various ways in which such interaction manifests itself. How do fiction and reality influence each other? Under what circumstances can the action of one be more intense on the other? The author's chief interest lies in the reciprocal mechanisms of appropriation between leamed culture and popular culture.
