Breaking with Tradition: Belarusian Short Prose in the Early Twenty-First Century
Arnold McMillin
Publications of the Modern Humanities Research Association 20•12 January 2018
- ‘This book aims to show the powerful creative urges that continue to mark literature in Belarus, despite the continued denigration of the national language and culture. In this the author has succeeded magnificently.’ — Jim Dingley, Slavonic and East European Review 96.4, 2018, 770-71 (full text online)
- ‘McMillin’s work makes an invaluable contribution to scholarship on Belarusian literature. Considering the difficulties with accessing the texts (often hard to find in print, as well as on the Internet), McMillin’s successful inclusion of these rare works in his analysis allows him to shed light not only on the writing of the more famous representatives of the Belarusian literary scene, but also on the subtle undercurrents of the literary process.’ — Palina Urban, Australian Slavonic and East European Studies 32, December 2018, 122-25

Arnold McMillin
Publications of the Modern Humanities Research Association 19•1 October 2015
- ‘Spring Shoots is a highly engaging and stimulating book written by a scholar with an infectious enthusiasm for his subject.’ — Jim Dingley, Slavonic and East European Review 94, 2016, 527 (full text online)
- ‘This collection illustrates a meticulous approach, significant effort, dedication and passion for Belarusian verse. By bringing together the work of Belarusian poets, which is not always easy to find, especially for specialists from abroad, McMillin has produced a unique volume within post-Soviet literature which should inspire readers to read more works by these young poets, who are convincingly carving a distinct niche in future Belarusian poetic culture.’ — Galina Miazhevich, Slavic Review 75.4, Winter 2016, 1020-21

- ‘Reading Arnold McMillin’s Writing in a Cold Climate is a privilege, an enhancement of knowledge, and simply a treat for any student of literature. Indeed, this tome is a magnum opus, written by a distinguished educator and scholar of Belarusian and Russian linguistic cultures. The quality of the research is superb, and places this volume at the pinnacle of the existing literature.’ — Zina Gimpelevich, Modern Language Review 106, 2011, 304-06 (full text online)
- ‘A remarkably thorough examination of recent Belarusian letters ... McMillin’s analytical anthology is a virtual Who’s Who of contemporary Belarusian literature.’ — Joseph P. Mozur, Slavic Review 70, 2011, 449-50
- ‘The scholarly world of Slavonic Studies must be grateful to Professor McMillin for his long devotion to the literature and culture of Belarus, but so too must the wider world of general literary studies. Thanks to him we have the opportunity to know so much about a literature that turns out not to be so 'small' after all.’ — James Dingley, Slavonica 17, 2011, 66-67
