Concise description of the directive:
The problem of the relationship between worldview and artistic method is of fundamental importance, as it touches on the most delicate issues of artistic creation. As Rozental explains, this relationship constitutes an indispensable interpretive key to understanding the ideological coherence of a work.
It is probably not necessary to demonstrate that the presence in a writer of prejudices linked to a non-communist worldview represents a serious limitation; criticism must, as Rozental himself emphasises, concretely analyse literary texts in order to reveal how such ideological biases are manifested in the representation of socialist reality.
