This is a new reading of the criticism and the fiction of Józef Bogdan Dziekonski. The writers and artists he reviewed (or parodied) were almost without exception associated with the select circle at the heart of the Polish community in St Petersburg. Dziekonski devoted all his energies to denouncing what he considered a conformist and timeserving coterie and their satellites. He cared little if some of his volleys would rebound upon himself. It seems that his displays of bellicose temper were in fact a displaced reaction to the coterie's politics which he could not attack openly. His favourite target was Józef Ignacy Kraszewski. Dziekonski persisted in his attacks even after Kraszewski's ties with the St Petersburg circle became very loose indeed. The novelist was charged with collaboration with the coterie, putting his talent (which Dziekonski would not deny) in the service of a bad cause and a variety of artistic flaws and imperfections. It cannot be ruled out though that much of Dziekonski's attacks was motivated by envy of a more successful man of letters.
