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».

Выход в свет исторического труда Н. А. Маркeвича послужил причиной довольно бурной полемики. «История Малороссии» не была самостоятельным сочинением в полном смысле слова. В ее основу была положена «История руссов, или Малой России» Г. А. Полетики. Белинский оставил в стороне эту полемику, в которой с обеих сторон были сильны сугубо националистические мотивы. На этот раз центром внимания Белинского становится историческая наука и произошедшие в ней качественные изменения. В сближении истории с искусством Белинский видит знаменательное явление времени, в результате которого история «получает то же значение, какое у древних имел эпос», а в литературе возникает «нового рода поэзия» – исторический роман.
