The Belgorod literature originated in the 18th century. Ioasaph Gorlenko, a bishop of Belgorod and Oboyan between 1748 and 1754, is considered the first writer of the Belgorod land.
The principles of classicism of the second half of the 18th century were embodied in the works of the poet and philosopher Grigory Savvich Skovoroda and the poet and publicist Vasily Grigoryevich Ruban.
The turn of the 19th century marked the era of noble manors and the heyday of poets, writers, philosophers and publicists including Nikolay Borisovich Golitsyn, Vladimir Fedoseyevich Rayevsky and Nikolay Vladimirovich Stankevich, and the literary critic Alexander Vasilyevich Nikitenko.
By the mid-19th century, realism became a leading genre in literature, giving rise to the works of the writer and publicist Stepan Timofeyevich Slavutinsky and the writer, playwright and collector of folklore Nadezhda Stepanovna Kokhanovskaya.
The search for meaning in the late 19th century was exemplified by the actor Mikhail Semyonovich Shchepkin, the critics Nikolay Nikolayevich Strakhov and Yuri Nikolayevich Govorukho-Otrok, the publicists Ivan Nikolayevich Shidlovsky and Pyotr Fedoseyevich Alisov, and the playwright and writer Pavel Yakovlevich Barvinsky.
The 20th century was the time of inventors and researchers, both in new spheres of life and the legacy of the bygone era. The history of that time preserved the names of Vasily Yakovlevich Yeroshenko, Arnold Ilyich Gessen, Adrian Mitrofanovich Toporov, Vladislav Yevgenyevich Yevgenyev-Maksimov, Nikolay Dmitriyevich Anoshchenko, and Ignatiy Vladislavovich Vladislavlev (Gulbinsky).
The exhibition presents archival materials, photographs and personal belongings of the littérateurs.
