Examples

“The little volume of Professor Wacław Lednicki, who has already done so much in the domain of “Pushkinology,” contains three separate essays:[…]”
“We may further imagine that Coleridge’s and Poncet’s doleful singer was none other than Pushkin’s great-great-grandmother; that her lord, either of Poncet’s two hosts, was Pushkin’s great-great-grandfather; and that the latter was a son of Cella Christos, Dr. Johnson’s Rasselas. There is nothing in the annals of Pushkinology to restrain one from the elaboration of such fancies.”
“There is no more imposing work of scholarship on Pushkin in any language, and, long before the novels of Sirin and Nabokov are recognized in the Soviet Union, Soviet Pushkinology must come to terms with Nabokov’s Onegin.”
“HELENOLOGY / (An attempt at the construction of a new science) /[…]/ 2. The sciences about one person, such as Shakespearology, Napoleonology, Pushkinology, Marxology, and so forth, study the contribution of the given person to history, literature, social thought, and so forth.”
