ENThe articles, studies, and texts of public lectures and interviews selected for Sofija Čiurlionienė-Kymantaitė’s book "Tautos auklėjimo mintys: literatūros ir kultūros kritika, publicistika, viešos paskaitos, pokalbiai" (Thoughts on the Nations Education: Literary and Cultural Criticism, Journalistic Articles, Public Lectures, Interviews) focus on various aspects of literature, art, and public education. These texts reveal topical issues discussed in the cultural life of Lithuania of the first half of the twentieth century and as such they are documents of cultural history. Many of the problems that Čiurlionienė-Kymantaitė touched upon in her journalistic body of work are significant today and reflect the author’s concern about public education. Sofija Čiurlionienė-Kymantaitės (1886-1958) literary and art criticism and journalistic work comprised the fourth volume of her selected works which, published in 500 copies in 1998, has by now become a bibliographic rarity. Newly discovered manuscripts were published in the eighth volume of her works, which consisted of materials reflecting different fields of Čiurlionienė-Kymantaitės activities: journalistic articles, lectures, reviews, and translations. Published as a separate book, the collection of Sofija Čiurlionienė- Kymantaitė’s articles, lectures, and interviews with commentaries and the accompanying article by Aušra Martišiūtė-Linartienė is a valuable source for scholars in such fields as literature, art, music, theatre, and pedagogy, for students and the general public.
