B008. Before the Storm: Soviet Ukrainian Fiction of the 1920's. Ed. by George Luckyj. Tr. by Yuri Tkacz. Ann Arbor: Ardis, 1986. 266 p.

Contents: Introduction.

In his introduction George Luckyj characterizes the 1920's as "the golden decade of modern Ukrainian literature" with "an unprecedent-ed outburst of creativity". For the first time, according to Luckyj, poetry which had always predominated in Ukrainian literature was "rivalled by some excellent prose writers". The present collection of the decade's prose includes different genres: the short story, excerpts from novels, reportage, and an essay-monologue and is, in Luckyj's words, "striking in its diversity, its multi-faceted rather than unified character." The introduction provides critical comments on each of the works included in the collection. Brief bio-bibliographical data about the authors is given on pp. 265-266.

Contains translations of: Val'dshnepy [an excerpt] by Mykola Khvylovyi.

Smyrniw, in his introduction, considers Berdnyk to be the leading figure of Ukrainian science fiction and characterizes him as "a writer endowed with an unusual imagination", "unorthodox and provocat-ive." Main themes of Berdnyk's science fiction, according to Smyrniw, are "man's quest for immortality, contacts with alien life forms from distant regions of space, man's extraordinary journeys through inner and outer space, dreams and accomplishments of bold individuals who dare to deviate from the prevailing patterns in life and perception of reality, and accounts of dissident scientists who challenge or reject the established scientific precepts and through their radical approaches achieve quite extraordinary results." Smyrniw discusses Berdnyk's novels Shliakhy tytaniv, Strila chasu, Dity bezmezhzhia and Zorianyi korsar.

"Boychuk is not a cosmopolitan poet," says Mark Rudman in his introduction. "No matter how closely observed his poems about Ukrainian peasant life, myth, and ritual may seem, they were written from a distance of time and space... Desire in Boychuk's work includes a concealed longing for his mother country. The early mythic poems are both metaphysical and deeply personal..." According to Rudman, "Boychuk is an existential poet with a religious edge: his vision of life is spun out of the absence of religion, the absence of god. He interrogates "the creator" about the meaning of his creation yet trembles in front of the unknown..." Rudman considers "Three Dimensional Love" "the central triumph of the book and one of the great modern poetic sequences". On the back cover Ignatow calls Memories of Love "a book of deliverance" and Birkerts says that "Bohdan Boychuk's poems resound with the music of sorrow suffered and sorrow surpassed."

Contents: Foreword / Governor General of Canada.

A collection which includes translations from Ukrainian poetry, prose, and drama as well as articles and comments on Ukrainian literature and folklore and biographical material about Florence Randal Livesay. Among the translations are several dumy, koliadky and other folksongs, Storozhenko's short story Zakokhanyi chort and Lesia Ukrainka's drama Lisova pisnia.

The preface (pp. 11-12) is by the translator's daugher, Dorothy Livesay, a Canadian poet, who relates, how her mother, charmed by the songs of her immigrant Ukrainian maids, learned to read Ukrainian and began to translate Ukrainian folk songs and poetry. Jaroslav B. Rudnyckyj in his introduction (pp. 13-14) calls Florence Randal Livesay "the first English Canadian to offer English-speaking fellow Canadians the treasures of Ukrainian folktale and literature in general." Louisa Loeb' essay on Florence Randal Livesay (pp. 172-196) gives an extensive detailed biography of the pioneer translator who was born in 1874 in Compton, Quebec and died in Toronto in 1953.

B027. Drach, Ivan. Orchard Lamps. Edited and introduced by Stanley Kunitz. With woodcuts by Jacques Hnizdovsky. Translated by Daniel Halpern, Stanley Kunitz, Paul Nemser, Mark Redman [sic, i.e. Rudman], Paula Schwartz and others. Toronto: Exile Editions, 1989. 71p. illus.

Contents: Introduction / Stanley Kunitz.

"Drach's mind generates so much light that he is capable of making even the homeliest objects radiant," writes Stanley Kunitz in the introduction. He finds in Drach's work "a vein of Slavic mysticism... not always distinguishable from a romantic drift towards afflatus and murkiness. The best of his poems begin with brilliant perceptions, or concrete instances, and climb, with an explosion of images, towards the realm of the transcendent."

This book of translations originated "as a workshop project in the graduate writing program of the School of the Arts at Columbia University and continued, as a voluntary commitment, for an extended period thereafter." The introduction acknowledges the assistance of Bohdan Boychuk and Jaroslav Rozumnyj who supplied the literal translations from the Ukrainian.

The book includes 17 full page woodcuts by Jacques Hnizdovsky in text plus a woodcut used for the book's cover. A brief note about Drach appears also on the back cover of this paperback edition. For identifications of individual poems see Index.

B032. Franko, Ivan. Ivan Vyshensky: a poem. Tr. by Roman Orest Tatchyn. With an introd. by Leonid Rudnytzky. New York: Shevchenko Scientific Society, 1983. 166-212.

Offprint from the Memoirs of the Shevchenko Scientific Society, v. 198 published as Ivan Franko: The Artist and The Thinker [q.v.B051]. Translation of the complete text of Franko's long poem Ivan Vyshens'kyi. Rudnytzky's introductory article "Ivan Franko's dramatic poem Ivan Vyshensky: an interpretation" appears on pp. 167-177. Franko, according to Rudnytzky, was fascinated by the life and work of Ivan Vyshens'kyi and wrote, in addition to the long poem, five scholarly articles on the subject. The poem itself might have been influenced, in addition to the historical Ivan Vyshens'kyi and his work, also by Shevchenko's poem Chernets' and Conrad Ferdinand Meyer's verse cycle Huttens letzte Tage, says Rudnytzky. He characterizes Franko's narrative poem as "a drama of a human soul and its quest for salvation." The structure of the poem, according to Rudnytzky "is essentially that of a five act play". The work, like a traditional play, has "a division into five acts and a prologue, a turning point which occurs approximately in the middle of the work (Canto VI), a well developed dialogue which enhances the work's dramatic tension, a dramatic climax and a denouement, and even three classical unities." Tatchyn's translation of the poem covers pp. 178-212 and begins with the lines "Like a greenstone tetrahedron" (Canto 1).

B033. Franko, Ivan. Moses and Other Poems. Tr. from the Ukrainian by Adam Hnidj. New York: Vantage Press, 1987. 146 p., port.

The translator's introduction (pp. 1-6) provides some historical and bio-bibliographical background and some comments about the translations. Shein's article (pp. 23-28) makes the claim that "Franko's literary, social and political activities were deeply rooted in his religious Weltanschauung whose source was the Bible." Dombrovsky focuses on Franko's anthropomorphic and naturalistic depictions of deity and the demonological elements in Moisei.

B039. Grabowicz, George G. The Poet as Mythmaker: a study of symbolic meaning in Taras Šev_enko. Cambridge, MA: Distributed by Harvard University Press for the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute, 1982. x, 170 p. (Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute Monograph series).

A systematic analysis of the symbolic nature of Shevchenko's Ukrainian poetry based on some concepts borrowed from structural anthropology of Claude Lévi-Strauss and Victor Turner. Grabowicz argues that "myth constitutes a fundamental code of Šev_enko's poetry", that Shevchenko is both a "myth-carrier" and a "mythmaker". Shevchenko's treatment of history, says Grabowicz, is "fundamentally mythical". Ukraine in Shevchenko's mythical thought, according to Grabowicz, is an idealized state of existence, a utopia which existed in the past and is to be resurrected in the future, a community of love and ideal equality without structure, authority or hierarchy. This idealized Ukraine in Shevchenko's poetry, says Grabowicz, "merges into a vision of an ideal humanity."

B040. Grabowicz, George G. Toward a History of Ukrainian Literature. Cambridge, MA: Distributed by Harvard University Press for the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute, 1981. 101 p. (Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute Monograph series).

A review and critique of Dmytro Chyzhevs'kyi's A History of Ukrainian Literature: From the 11th to the End of the 19th Century. Edited with a foreword by George S.N. Luckyj. (Littleton. CO: Ukrainian Academic Press, 1975). Grabowicz's book is a slightly revised version of the review article which was published originally in Harvard Ukrainian Studies [1.4 (December 1977): 402-523]. Grabowicz takes issue with Chyzhevs'kyi's concept of an "incomplete literature of an incomplete nation", with his "designation of style as the basis and criterion of the literary process" and with his "pervasive downgrading of the cultural context." Grabowicz's stated goal is to articulate an alternative and, in his view, "more accurate and more functional model of Ukrainian literary history".

B041. Gzhyts'kyi, Volodymyr. Night and Day / Volodymyr Zenonovych Gzhytsky. Tr. and edited by Ian Press. Edmonton: Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, University of Alberta, 1988. xiii, 242 p.

Translation of the novel Nich i den' with the translator's preface (v-vi), introduction" (vii-xiii), notes (235-238) and a bibliography covering works by and about Gzhyts'kyi up to 1979 (239-242). The following is the translator's characterization of the novel: "Night and Day is the third novel in a trilogy tracing the life of Mykola Stepanovych Haievsky, both a self-portrait of Gzhytsky and of a Galician intellectual of the first half of the twentieth century. The title of the first part, Into the Wide World, conveys the entrusting by Haievsky of his fate to the nascent Soviet Union, and that of the second part, Great Hopes, reaffirms, with accompanying evil omens, his faith in the future of the Soviet Union. The title of the third part, Night and Day, conveys several possible ideas: the disillusionment of imprisonment and exile followed by renewed hopes (explicit in the final words), the constant unremitting and repetitive sequence of night and day in the North, with overtones of Gzhytsky's love of nature, the white nights and 'black days', the more general implications of the inseparability of good and evil and the great power of fate and, though this is most certainly an exaggeration, the relations between man and woman, a theme given prominence throughout the trilogy and particularly so in this third part with its setting in the camps." The original Ukrainian titles of the first two parts of the trilogy are U svit shyrokyi and Velyki nadii.

B043. A History of Russian Literature, 11th-17th Centuries. General editor: Dmitry Likhachev. Translated [from the Russian] by K.M. Cook-Horujy. Moscow: Raduga [c1989]. 606 p. illus. (part. col.). Bibliographies.

Chapter 1 (pp. 43-175) and parts of Chapter 2 (pp. 184-192) of this textbook deal with the literature of Kyivan Rus'. In his introduction Dmitry Likhachev discusses the peculiarities, literary conventions and traditions of the old literature, its medieval historicism, its patriotism and says: "The reader should bear in mind that the Russia of the tenth to thirteen centuries was not yet modern Russia, and the Russians of the same period were the Eastern Slavs as a whole, the ancestors of the modern Russians, Ukrainians and Byelorussians..." The author of the first chapter entitled "The Literature of Kievan Russia (Eleventh to Early Thirteenth Centuries)" is Oleg Tvorogov. He surveys and analyzes the first translations of the Byzantine and Bulgarian books, the earliest original literature: chronicles, sermons, lives of the saints, the Kyiv Crypt Patericon, the pilgrimage of Abbot Daniel and, in considerable detail, Slovo o polku Ihorevim, which in this translation is called "The Lay of Igor's Host". Chapter 2 entitled "Literature of the Second Quarter to the End of the Thirteenth Century" was written by Lev Dmitriev. Among the materials discussed in this chapter are the "Galich-Volhynian Chroniclez" (Halyts'ko-volyns'kyi litopys) and "The Supplication of Daniel the Exile" (Moleniie Danyla Zatochnyka). The book is richly illustrated with reproductions of illuminations from medieval manuscripts and frescoes, as well as contemporary photographs of medieval churches. There are extensive bibliographical references after each chapter, and, in addition, two separate bibliographies of Russian and foreign works arranged by topics of individual chapters.

B044. Honchar, Oles'. The Cathedral; a novel. Tr. from the Ukrainian by Yuri Tkach and Leonid Rudnytzky. Edited and annotated by Leonid Rudnytzky. Washington: St. Sophia Association of Ukrainian Catholics, 1989. xiii, 308 p. port. (Translation series no.2).

Translation of the novel Sobor. With Leonid Rudnytzky's introductory article: "Oles' Honchar: the man and his mission" (pp. vii-xiii) and "Explanatory notes" (pp. 303-308). Cover design by Yuri Hura. Full page b/w photo of Oles' Honchar on p. v.

In his introductory article Rudnytzky characterizes Honchar as an author with an "almost religious reverence for the glorious past of his nation, a finely-tuned social consciousness, and a warm, vibrant love for his fellow man..." The novel Sobor was first published in 1968 and was severely criticized by Soviet critics. Rudnytzky calls it Honchar's masterpiece, "a multi-faceted work of art that addresses numerous contemporary problems in the Soviet Union and their impact on the individual and on the collective." It is, says Rudnytzky, "a human interest story dealing with real people as well as with abstract concepts, with individual hopes and dreams as well as with societal concerns and aspirations."

Barabash in his introductory essay "An uninterrupted advance" (pp. 5-10) surveys Honchar's novels Praporonostsi, Liudyna i zbroia, Tsyklon, Tavria, Perekop and Tronka and finds some recurring themes: the war, the love of life, "affirmation of spiritual beauty", keen attention paid to moral problems, faith in man's spiritual resilience. Another of Honchar's major themes is that of history, the continuity of time, says Barabash. "Honchar's man is always a historical man, a person profoundly conscious of being personally involved in mankind's history and in his people's heroic past." Honchar, according to Barabash, has a rare "combination of integrity and dynamism" to remain true to himself while changing constantly.

A collection of papers commemorating the 125th anniversary of the birth and the 65th anniversary of the death of Ivan Franko / Eugene Fedorenko, editor. New York: Shevchenko Scientific Society, 1981. 212 p. illus. (Memoirs of the Shevchenko Scientific Society, v. 198).

Selected papers in English or Ukrainian delivered at two scholarly conferences held in honor of Ivan Franko in New York on 9 November 1976 and 6 June 1977 sponsored by the Shevchenko Scientific Society and the Alumni Association of the Ukrainian Free University, Munich, Germany. Contents of the English language material: From the editor.

Jaszczun (pp. 1-15) analyzes "the effect of Franko's world view on his aesthetic principles" and criticises various Soviet Franko scholars for their "distorted and tendentious appraisals of Franko's Weltanschauung." Rudnytzky (pp. 36-46) places his critical analysis of Franko's plays in a comparative context and argues that Franko's "entire dramatic oeuvre can be viewed as a product of Franko's quest to create a national repertory for a national Ukrainian theater." Zyla (pp. 47-58) discusses Franko's contributions to Slavic folklore study, his views about the origin of byliny, his interest in the history of the Russian folk theater, his scholarly contacts with Polish, Russian, Czech, Bulgarian and Serbo-Croatian folklore specialists. Kompaniec-Barsom (pp. 59-64) writes about "an astonishing diversity of themes, genres, subjects, images and characters" of Franko's prose, and claims that his short stories show that "he possessed a rare artistic skill at grasping and developing a moment of crisis and in synthesizing all the components of the story so as to produce a single artistic effect." Chopyk (pp. 65-76) discusses Franko's versification techniques and provides graphic representations of rhythm profiles of some of Franko's poems. Vlasenko-Bojcun (pp. 120-127) discusses Franko's scholarly articles on onomastics which dealt with the origin of the name boiko, with Ukrainian surnames and nicknames and with Ukrainian vestiges in Transsylvania. The volume contains also a full translation by Roman O. Tatchyn of Franko's long poem Ivan Vyshens'kyi and Rudnytzky's interpretation of the poem. [For annotation see offprint B032].

B052. Kepley, Vance, Jr. In the Service of the State: the Cinema of Alexander Dovzhenko. Madison, WI: University of Wisconsin Press, 1986. xi, 190 p. illus., port.

Contents: Acknowledgments.

Dovzhenko, says Kepley, "is at once the lyrical poet and the modern polemicist, the spokesman for tradition and the advocate of revolutionary change". For all the films analyzed (with the exception of Zvenyhora) Dovzhenko was not only the director, but also the scriptwriter. Kepley's book is an attempt "to grasp the topical nature of Dovzhenko's fiction films and to explore just how the films might have drawn much of their richness from specific historical circumstances." By using the methodology derived from the literary theorists Pierre Macherey and Terry Eagleton, Kepley's study places Dovzhenko's films in their original historical contexts, and shows how he drew from particular issues of the moment and how he organized such material into dramatic form. The book has 22 illustrations from Dovzhenko's films, two Dovzhenko satirical cartoons and his self-portrait which serves as the frontispiece.

B054. Khvyl'ovyi, Mykola. The Cultural Renaissance in Ukraine: Polemical pamphlets, 1925-1926. / Mykola Khvylovy. Tr., ed. and introduced by Myroslav Shkandrij. Edmonton: Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, University of Alberta, 1986. xi, 266 p.

Contents: Foreword / George S.N. Luckyj. - Preface / Myroslav Shkandrij.

The fascination with Khvyl'ovyi's writings, says in his foreword George Luckyj, is in Khvyl'ovyi's "extraordinary mixture of Marxism, nationalism, universalism and pro-Europeanism". His pamphlets have left "an indelible mark" on Ukrainian intellectual history and, according to Luckyj, "Their impatience with native Philistinism and red prosvita alone has earned them a permanent place of honour. So has their thrust toward intellectual independence from dogma."

Shkandrij's lengthy introduction (pp. 1-26) provides a socio-political background for the literary discussion of the 1920's and analyzes in some detail Khvyl'ovyi's pamphlets. According to Shkandrij, "On Satan in a barrel" was Khvyl'ovyi's response to an article published in Kultura i pobut (30 April 1925) where the author, H. Iakovenko, expressed his view that "proletarian literature ought to be elementary and simple, but healthy and useful..." Khvyl'ovyi, says Shkandrij, "ridiculed Iakovenko as a representative of all that was uncultured, boorish and humiliatingly backward in Ukrainian society" where would-be writers "unable to provide anything worthy of the name literature... substitute ideological debate for artistic competence." The second and third pamphlets ("On Copernicus of Frauenburg..." and "On waters of demagogy..." are expositions of Khvyl'ovyi's own ideas on literature. They are characterized by Shkandrij as "a passionate exhortation to Ukrainian youth to set demanding goals, to study and to create a new movement in art that befitted a young nation and a historic social revolution." Among the ideas advanced by Khvyl'ovyi were Western orientation, a future "Asiatic renaissance" - a political and cultural revival of once oppressed Asian countries in which Ukraine as a once oppressed nation on the boundary between East and West would play a special role, and art as the highest vocation, the product of human genius, "not to be understood as the propagation of convenient political slogans, but as the playful composition of profound ideas and complex imagery." These ideas were developed further in Khvyl'ovyi's later pamphlets, and became the ideological foundations of VAPLITE, the Free Academy of Proletarian Literature. "Although his first two series of pamphlets, Quo vadis? and Thoughts Against the Current , elicited a startling response with over 600 books, pamphlets and articles in the first year of the Discussion", says Shkandrij, "it was his third series "Apolohety pysaryzmu " ("Apologists of Scribbling"), which caused the greatest sensation." In the third series the problem of Russian chauvinism was attacked openly and Khvyl'ovyi's exhortation for Ukrainian literature was not to be a slavish imitator of Russian literature, but "to flee as quickly as possible from Russian literature and its styles."

"Ukraine or Little Russia", Khvyl'ovyi's unpublished treatise which brings his ideas to their final conclusion, appears in the book in Shkandrij's "partial reconstruction... based entirely on quotations contained in hostile reviews..." and the arrangement of these fragments "rest upon the recollection of Hryhorii Kostiuk, who read the treatise when it circulated among the student body at Kharkiv University in the twenties."

Translations of the following stories: Fata morgana.

The introduction by Vasyl Yaremenko provides a critical silhouette of Kotsiubyns'kyi with brief characterizations of the works included in the book. Kotsiubynskyi is a realist, claims the author, and his realism "lies in his new attempts to expand expressive endeavors by creatively employing modernistic methods, especially impressionism". Yaremenko also writes about Kotsiubynskyi's satirical methods which "permitted the writer under conditions of strict censorship to clearly express his ideas" and of his association "with the beginning and development or romantic elements in Ukrainian classical literature". "Remaining a writer-realist", says Yaremenko, Kotsiubyns'kyi "creatively used romantic methods as well as modernistic."

B063. Kotsiubyns'kyi, Mykhailo. Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors / Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky. Tr. by Marco Carynnyk. With notes and an essay on Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky by Bohdan Rubchak.

Translation of the novel Tini zabutykh predkiv. "Editorial note" (p. 7) signed by George S.N. Luckyj characterizes Mykhailo Kotsiubyns'kyi as "one of the foremost European writers in Ukrainian literature, attuned to the spirit of the fin-de-siècle." The translation (p. 9-42) is followed by exhaustive "Notes on the text" (p. 43-75) explaining the customs and mythology of the Hutsuls and an essay on Mykhailo Kotsiubyns'kyi entitled "The music of Satan and the bedeviled world" (p. 79-121). Both the notes and the essay are by Bohdan Rubchak. A five page bibliography (p. 123-127) lists standard editions of Kotsiubyns'kyi's works, the author's sources for Tini zabutykh predkiv, translations of Kotsiubyns'kyi's works into English, German and French, as well as biographical and critical studies in Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and English.

Rubchak's essay is a major critical study of Kotsiubyns'kyi's art. Rubchak writes of the "conflict between a sense of duty, bordering on self-sacrifice and the barely repressed longing to excape the demands of other people into the unbounded freedom of poetic reverie" as a major force in Kotsiubyns'kyi's life and "a dialectical pattern for many of his stories." He hypothesises that for Kotsiubyns'kyi, a person of calm reserved exterior who had "a profound sense of loneliness", "the openly passionate spirits of the Hutsuls" represented perhaps "an externalization of his own secretly passionate nature, thus promising an emotional and creative catharsis, and some miraculous rebirth." The basic thematic structure in Kotsiubyns'kyi, says Rubchak, is the "triangle of the dreamer, his catalyst, and the world." Rubchak finds and analyzes this basic structure in a number of Kotsiubyns'kyi's stories. Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, according to Rubchak, is not a "departure from Kotsiubynsky's usual style and thematic concern", as claimed by some critics, but "a confirmation and even a synthesis of the philosophical and psychological interests which occupied Kotsiubynsky throughout his mature career." The pastoral and sociological aspects of the novel, according to Rubchak, are "a dynamic canvass that serves as a backdrop for Kotsiubynsky's triangular structure of opposing forces - the poet's thirst for the ultimate horizons of existence, catalyzed by an outside force of inspiration, versus the cruelly inhibiting horizons of the world." The "mysterious, magical power of the poetic word" is "the music of Satan": art as a pact with the devil, says Rubchak, is a frequent motif not only in Hutsul mythology, but also in Western literature.

Most of the introductory material, and the whole first part of Kuskov's book entitled "Literature of the medieval Russian state in the 11th and 12th centuries" (pp. 57-140) deal with the literature of Kyivan Rus'. Separate chapters discuss "The Tale of Bygone Years", "The panegyric sermon", "Vladimir Monomakh's Instruction", "Hagiography", "The Pilgrimage of Abbot Daniil", "The Lay of Igor's Host", "Translated literature", "Military tales" and "Didactic tales". The introduction gives an overview of the scholarship on the old literature, discusses the basic themes, genres, artistic method, periodization, etc.

At head of title: "Commemorating the One Thousandth Anniversary of the Baptism of Rus'."

Translation of the lives of the saints from Kyievo-pechers'kyi pateryk. The "Foreword by Saint Polikarp the Hagiologist" is from the Pateryk itself; there is no introductory material from either the publisher or the translators, except for a brief note appended to the table of contents. According to this note, "narratives relating to the building of the monastery church, the painting of its ikons and certain miracles which had occurred in the monastery" which are also part of the Pateryk, were not included in this translation because, in the opinion of the translators, these "were merely extracted from the lives of the various Saints which appear in the Paterikon, and so they were repetitions of information already given." The copyright of this edition is held by the Monastery of All Saints of North America, of which the translators are archimandrite (Puhalo) and hieromonk (Novakshonoff). The following statement appears on the title page: "This volume is lovingly dedicated to all those monastics whose martyred blood continues to witness to the Ancient Faith of Christ in the face of the godless power which has enslaved the lands of Rus'."

English translations, v.1).

Contents: Editorial statement.

Described by Obolensky as "a collection of stories, mostly stemming from the eleventh and early twelfth century, about monks who lived in the Kievan Caves Monastery", the Kyievo-pechers'kyi pateryk, according to Heppel, its translator and the author of the introduction, "is concerned not only 'with the spiritual struggles and aspirations of the monastery's inhabitants" and "provides a wealth of details about the monastery as a religious institution", but "because its monks were intimately involved in the political and social life of the city of Kyiv, it also furnishes interesting glimpses of life beyond the monastery's walls." Heppell provides a detailed analysis of the contents and literary form of the Pateryk and discusses its authorship and the history of the text's transmission. The English translation of the Church Slavonic text is based on what the translator calls "the essential critical edition", i.e. Kyievo-pechers'kyi pateryk, edited by D. Abramovych and published in Kyiv in 1930.

B070. Lenhoff, Gail. The Martyred Princes Boris and Gleb: a Socio-cultural Study of the Cult and the Texts. Columbus, OH: Slavica, 1989. 168 p. (UCLA Slavic studies, v.19).

A study of the various texts devoted to the Saints Borys and Hlib in the medieval literature of Kyivan Rus'. The study was conceived as "a test case, illustrating the potential of a protogeneric approach and providing a concrete picture of the writing process in the Kyivan period." From the standpoint of the protogenetic theory, according to the author, "the process of literary analysis...begins with the identification of a work's socio-cultural context, its provenance, and its probable function for the community."

B071. Likhachov, Dmitry. The Great Heritage; the Classical Literature of Old Rus. Moscow: Progress, 1981. 348 p.

Says Likhachov in the preface to this English edition of his Velikoe nasledie: "Out of the thousand years during which Russian literature has existed, at least seven hundred years belong to the period we conventionally call "Old Russian", and out of these seven hundred years three hundred belong to the period when the Old Ukrainian, Old Byelorussian, and Old Great Russian literatures were not yet distinguishable from each other." More than half of Likhachov's book is devoted to the literature of Kyivan Rus, with separate chapters on such topics as "Hilarion's Discourse on the Law and Grace", "The Tale of Bygone Years", "The Writings of Prince Vladimir Monomakh", "The Lay of Igor's Host", and "The Supplication of Daniel the Exile". In discussing the old literature in general, Likhachov says that it is "woven into a single fabric thanks to its unity of themes, the identity of literary time with historical time, as a result of fixing the subject of a given work to a real geographical area, as a result of one work leading into another with all the ensuing generic links and, lastly, due to the unity of literary etiquette." The translation into English is by Doris Bradbury.

Literary purges in Ukraine coincided with the man-made famine of 1932-33; Luckyj calls this time "a period of literary mass murder and police intervention in Ukrainian culture". He discusses the 1930 trial of the so called Union for the Liberation of Ukraine (Spilka Vyzvolennia Ukrainy), the military court trial in December 1934 which led to the execution of 12 Ukrainian writers, repressions of Ukrainian literary movements, the purging of VAPLITE members and other writers, etc. Luckyj provides statistical data on those who perished and a bibliographical survey of gradual rehabilitations of these writers and their works in the Soviet Union.

Contents: Introduction.

The first book-length biography in English of Panteleimon Kulish, the most controversial figure, in Luckyj's view, of the 19th century Ukrainian literature. "During his long life (1819-97) and even after his death he was perceived as inconsistent in action and as an egotist who came to reject some basic assumptions of the Ukrainian movement which he helped to found", says Luckyj of Kulish. "At the same time there was agreement as to his importance in and his dedication to this movement." Throughout the book the emphasis is on biographical details, Kulish's social and political views, his friends and contemporaries, rather than on analysis of his literary and historical works.

Meriam-Luznycky, however, does provide us with his poetic interpretation of these events..." "Notes and explanations" (pp. 69-85) and "Bibliography" (pp. 86-87) provide excerpts of documents with annotations and bibliographical data about other sources used by the author. B/w portraits of Andrei Sheptyts'kyi and of his mother Sophia Countess Fredro Sheptyts'ka are used as illustrations.

Contents: List of figures.

A revision of the 1980 Ph.D. thesis presented at the University of Texas. Panfuturism, according to Mudrak, "was a stance developed in 1920 by young Ukrainian writers and poets who, looking beyond the mere national or regional confines of their culture, wished to broaden those horizons by directing their attention at the international community of artists." The chief promoter of Panfuturism in Ukraine was the poet Mykhail Semenko (1892-1937), and the high point of the movement was the journal Nova generatsiia which, in Mudrak's view, "represented the culmination of all vanguard strivings in modern Ukrainian art, and served as a focal point for national and international cultural integration." The emphasis in Mudrak's book is on art rather than literature. Even the poet Semenko is considered not for his poetry or for his impact on the literary scene, but because "his unlimited energy in the realm of publishing helped to mold the truly ultraleftist directions in all aspects of modern Ukrainian culture". Among the 57 b/w illustrations of the book we find also reproductions of the following "poezo-paintings" by Mikhail Semenko: Cablepoem abroad, Village landscape, Longing for the animal, Barber, Panfuturists, I am not mother, as well as a page from The apparatus for the construction of meta-art. Chapter 5 (Typography and the visual arts) is interspersed with translated fragments from Semenko's poetry [q.v.T445].

B087. Novychenko, Leonid. Taras Shevchenko: Ukrainian poet (1814-61)/ Leonid Novichenko. Paris: Unesco, 1985. 134 p. illus., port. (Prominent figures of Slav culture).

Contents: Preface.

Illustrations include two portraits of Shevchenko, Shevchenko's drawing of his childhood home and a facsimile of his autograph of the poem "To Marko Vovchok". Quotations from Shevchenko's poetry cited in the essay are reproduced from his Selected Works: Poetry and Prose (Moscow: Progress, 1964). Other "prominent figures of Slav culture" in this Unesco series include: Krleza, Skorina, Pushkin, Novomesky, Nezval, Botev, Herzen.

The book is apparently an unattributed English translation of a revised version of Novychenko's Taras Shevchenko - poet, borets', liudyna. [See annotation under B086, for an earlier English translation published in Kyiv]. The Unesco publication differs in style and emphasis, but the Soviet Marxist viewpoint remains unchanged. The following samples are characteristic of the ideological attitude of the author: "Taras Shevchenko joined the Russian literary and political movement as a son of the Ukraine." (p. 9) "The historic agreement of Pereyaslav was a turning point in the life of the Ukrainian people.... From then onwards, the destiny of the Ukraine was for ever linked to that of the Russian people..." (p. 9). "It was only after the October Revolution that Shevchenko's works became accessible to the public at large without the mutilations of censorship. " (p. 132). "In his rejection of idealism in aesthetics, in his affirmation of the pre-eminent role of life and reality as the foundations of pure art, the Ukrainian poet revealed his close kinship with Belinsky, Herzen, Chernyshevsky and Dobrolyubov." (p. 108).

Contents: Mykola Rudenko: Christian poet in a Marxist world / Leonid Rudnytzky.

Translation of the long poem Khrest. Rudnytzky in his introductory essay (pp. 7-10) speaks of Rudenko's "spiritual metamorphosis, his evolution from Marxism to Christianity which led him to question Soviet policies, to speak out against Soviet human rights violations, and to protest the denial of national rights to the Ukrainian people." Rudenko, says Rudnytzky, "restores human conscience to its position of primacy and rejects all totalitarian coercion of the human spirit." The dramatic poem Khrest, according to Rudnytzky "conveys not only the author's unwavering commitment to his religious credo, but also his own, original perception of the tragedy of his native Ukraine."

The text is subdivided into five brief chapters. The first provides a bio-bibliographical note on Lesia Ukrainka. The second deals with Lesia Ukrainka's interests in Africa and in Egypt prior to her first visit to Egypt. Chapters 3 and 4 focus on her works with Egyptian themes written during her three stays in Helwan, near Cairo in the years 1909-1913. The last chapter deals with Lesia Ukrainka's planned but unfinished novel "Ekbal-hanem", the beginning of which was published, after the author's death, in Literaturno-naukovyi vistnyk (v.66, 1913, pp. 4-9). The pamphlet has quotations from Lesia Ukrainka's poetry [q.v.T616], from her letters and from the memoirs about her by Mykola Ohrimenko [p. 12]. Ukrainian summary on p. 4 traces the origin of the pamphlet to the author's article written in Ukrainian and published in the collection Lesia Ukrainka, 1871-1971 (Philadelphia, 1980).

B108. Shevchenko and the Critics, 1861-1980 / Ed. by George S.N. Luckyj. Tr. by Dolly Ferguson and Sophia Yurkevich. Introd. by Bohdan Rubchak. Toronto: Published in association with the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies by University of Toronto Press, [1980]. xi, 522 p. col. port.

Contents: Editor's note [pp. ix-xi].

This critical textbook for university students provides "a selection of the most significant Shevchenko criticism from the time of his death until the present." The editor describes the volume thus: "The reader is offered a wide spectrum of interpretations (Marxist - Richytsky; nationalist - Hrinchenko; socialist - Drahomanov). Some vital aspects of Shevchenko's biography and activities have also been taken into account (Miiakovsky on the Brotherhood of Sts Cyril and Methodius, Swoboda on Shevchenko and Belinsky, Mohyliansky on Shevchenko and Kulish, and Hudzii on Shevchenko and the Russian radicals). Much attention has been devoted to Shevchenko's poems, in the belief that any university study of literature must concentrate on the texts themselves (hence there are detailed analyses of poems in the articles by Franko, Drai-Khmara, Rylsky, Smal-Stotsky, and Shevelov). Two articles attempt to place Shevchenko within the framework of romanticism (Fylypovych, Schneider), while four others view him through well-known critical approaches (Rubchak, Chyzhevsky, Pliushch, Luckyj). A not particularly scholarly but incisive approach to Shevchenko is represented by the work of Kulish, Ievshan, and Chukovsky."

Rubchak's introduction provides "an overall view of the problems of modern Shevchenko scholarship. " The last article by George G. Grabowicz attempts to investigate Shevchenko's imaginative universe, "the deep structures and the symbolic code in which they are couched", a topic hitherto untouched, in the author's view, by Shevchenko scholars.

Some articles are illustrated with quotations from Shevchenko's poetry which are given in transliterated Ukrainian with a literal inter-linear translation into English. The longer fragments are as follows (with beginning Ukrainian lines given in brackets): And you read Kollar [I Koliara chytaiete] (8 lines, p. 66, 367).

In addition to Shevchenko poems, the following are also quoted in literal prose translation: He is not a poet, for that is painfully insufficient [Ne poet - bo tse do boliu malo] by Evhen Malaniuk (4 lines, p. 3).

B109. Shevchenko and the World. Compiled by Vasyl Borodin. Kiev: Ukraina Society, 1988. 78 p. illus.

A collection of five scholarly articles about the dissemination outside of Ukraine of Shevchenko's works and fame. With an introduction by the president of the Ukraina Society and 12 black/white reproductions of Vasyl Lopata's illustrations which interpret Shevchenko's works.

Contents: Kobzar brings peoples closer together / Volodymyr Brovchenko.

Brovchenko (pp. 4-8) writes about the delegations sent by the Ukraina Society to participate in the "Shevchenko Readings" in Canada. Dziuba' article (pp. 10-24) deals with non-Russian literatures of the peoples inhabiting the Russian empire, Shevchenko's knowledge about them and their connections to Shevchenko: translations, studies, etc. Verves (pp. 26-37) discusses the influence on Shevchenko of Pushkin and Mickiewicz, Shevchenko's views about Polish, Russian and Czech cultures, as well as popularity of his works in Russia, Poland, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia. Zorivchak (pp. 39-51) provides bio-bibliographical data on English language translators of Shevchenko, such as William Morfill, Ethel Lillian Voynich, Percy Selver, Florence Livesay, A. Hunter, Percival Cundy, O. Ewach, Jack Lindsey, Padraic Breslin, Clarence A. Manning, John Weir, Mary Skrypnyk, Vera Rich, Watson Kirkconnell. Kravets (pp. 53-64) surveys Shevchenko studies and French, Italian and Romanian translations from Shevchenko.

Belenko [i.e. Anatole Bilenko]. The publisher's note provides the following comment: "A highly original work.

Contents: Introduction / Dmitry Likhachov [pp. 9-24].

In his introduction Likhachov discusses the history and authenticity of Slovo, its style and subject matter. The theme of the poem is described in the following words: "The Lay tells about the unsuccessful campaign undertaken for ambitious reasons in 1185 by Prince Igor Svyatoslavich of Novgorod-Seversky with a small company and without pre-arrangement with the other princes. The defeat he suffered was terrible, and The Lay is the author's appeal to the Russian princes for unity in their struggle against Russia's external enemies."

B121. Strutsiuk, Iosif. Kolodezhnenskii literaturno-memorial'nyi muzei Lesi Ukrainki. Putevoditel/ Iosif Strutsiuk, Ivan Chernetskii'= Lesia Ukrainka Literary-Memorial Museum in Kolodezhnoye. Guide-book / Joseph Strutsuk [sic], Iwan Chernetsku [sic]. Lviv: Kameniar, 1986. 69 p. illus., ports. (part col.)

A guide-book to the Lesia Ukrainka museum in the village Kolodiazhne, Volyn' oblast', Ukraine, where the poet lived from 1881 to 1907. The guide-book contains family photos from Lesia Ukrainka's childhood, b/w portraits with her mother, with Kobylians'ka, group portraits with parents and friends, with Ukrainian writers in 1903, two b/w Lesia Ukrainka portraits, her monuments in Luts'k, in Kyiv, in Surami, Georgia, on her graveside in Kyiv, facsimile of her autograph, of her books' covers, portrait of her uncle Mykhailo Drahomanov, photos from the museum itself, etc. This bilingual Russian-English guide-book, however, despite the parallel title pages, has only a three-page summary in English and parallel Russian-English captions for illustrations. The summary, moreover, is an impressionistic article about the museum and the feelings it evokes in the visitor and provides little factual data about the life and work of Lesia Ukrainka. There is a noticable abundance of typographical errors in the English language text. A detailed description of the museum and a chronological table of Lesia Ukrainka's life and work appear only in the Russian version.

B122. Studies in Ukrainian Literature. Edited by Bohdan Rubchak. New York: Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences in the U.S., 1986. 494 p. Port. (Annals of the Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences in the U.S., 16. 41-42 (1984-1985).

Contents: Contributors.

Volume dedicated to H. Kostiuk, on his 80th birthday. Kostiuk's b/w portrait appears on p. 19. Pt.II. includes one contribution in German (by Hans Rothe "Die Literatur des Kiewer Höhlenklosters in der ostslavischen Kulturgeschichte"). All articles include bibliographical references. The selection of materials for this Festschrift, according to the "Editor's Foreword", "demonstrates a variety of methodological approaches - from meticulously researched historical studies to bold interpretive readings of texts. It extends from early baroque Ukrainian literature to Kostiuk's particular field of interest - the literary processes of the 1920's and the early 1930's in Soviet Ukraine."

Part 1. Ivan Koshelivets's (Koszeliwec's) tribute provides a biographical silhouette of Hryhorii Kostiuk against the literary and social background of his time, a critical assessment of Kostiuk's contributions to Ukrainian literature and to contemporary history of Ukraine and some personal observations on Kostiuk, the man. Kostiuk is characterized as "a man of letters, a literary historian, a critic" who is "irreproachably fair, incredibly hard-working and wholeheartedly dedicated to the cultural and political revival of Ukraine - that of the past, as well as that of the future." Kostiuk's bibliography on pp. 37-50 covers the years 1972-1985 and supplements an earlier bibliography of his works published in Slovo: zbirnyk 5 (1973), pp. 168-183.

Part II. Irene Makaryk examines Gogol's play Revizor and concludes that it was the Ukrainian dramatic tradition, particularly the intermedii which "suggested to Gogol motifs, themes, a general structure, and comic devices for his play." Bohdan Rubchak takes as his point of departure the Shevchenko image popid tynom which, in Shevchenko's world view, according to Rubchak, embodies the periphery and "becomes the rich, multivalent symbol of banishment, exile, the state of being an outsider..." Rubchak attempts to show that "the spirit of the periphery... permeates and governs Šev_enko's work on all levels from broad philosophical concerns to specific questions of structure and diction." George Shevelov discusses the lines from Pushkin's Klevetnikam Rossii about Slavic rivulets converging in the Russian sea with two lines from Shevchenko's poem Shafarykovi which resemble the Pushkin statement. In Shevelov's view, "the notion of a Slavic federation does not appear in Šev_enko's poem at all" and the quotation is neither a borrowing nor a rehash, but a polemic with Pushkin. Shevelov also proves through a semantic analysis that the words denoting German and Germans are frequently used in Shevchenko in reference not to Germans, but to Russians. Romana Bahrij-Pikulyk traces the great influence of Sir Walter Scott on the prose of Panteleimon Kulish and provides some examples of parallel texts from Scott's Quentin Durward and Kulish's Chorna rada. Arnold McMillin dicusses the mutual influences between the Belorussian and Ukrainian literatures and lists a number of translations to and from Belorussian and Ukrainian. John Fizer presents the basics of Potebnia's theory of literature, focusing on the fable and the proverb, both of which, in Potebnia's view, could serve as models for other poetic works. Oleh Ilnytzkyj's article deals with the polemics between the journals Nova generatsiia and Literaturnyi iarmarok in the late 1920's and with what the author calls Mykola Khvyl'ovyi's "crusade against the Futurists".

Part III. Ivan Rudnytsky examines Vynnychenko's book Vidrodzennia natsii and presents Vynnychenko's "interpretation of the Ukrainian Revolution and his own role in it", as reflected in that book. Danylo Husar Struk concentrates on the literary method used by Vynnychenko in exploring ethical dilemmas, and comes to the conclusion that, contrary to some opinions, Vynnychenko "did not propagate extreme individualism, total amorality, prostitution, falsehood, free love, or an animalistic abandon to lust. Instead, he attempted to test certain ideas that in theory sound so beautiful, to see if they were realizable and what their consequences would be". Eugene Lashchyk analyzes the yet unpublished philosophical treatise of Vynychenko Konkordyzm - systema buduvannia shchastia with a focus on Vynnychenko's views of happiness, health and morality. Vynnychenko's utopian novel Soniashna mashyna is the subject of Walter Smyrniw's article. In Smyrniw's view, the novel is prophetic, "no less perceptive, no less accurate and certainly no less entertaining than similar novels by H.G.Wells, Evgenij Zamjatin, Aldous Huxley and George Orwell" and thus "deserves greater recognition than it has received thus far". Larissa M.L. Zaleska Onyshkevych's contribution is a comparative study of Vynnychenko and the Czech writer Karel _apek concentrating on four works: Vynnychenko's Soniashna mashyna and Prorok and _apek's R.U.R. and Tovarna na absolutno. While neither _apek nor Vynnychenko considered modern technology to be a threat to man, both writers were concerned with the political and social changes that resulted from the introduction of machines and both were interested in man's "attitudes to labor and the effects of such attitudes on his spirit and behavior...", says the author. Valerian Revutsky finds similarities and differences in the treatment of marriage in such plays of Vynnychenko as Chorna pantera i bilyi vedmid', Nad, Velykyi sekret, Prorok and the plays of the British writer W.S. Maugham Penelope, The Bread-Winner, Our Betters, Sheppey. According to Leonid Rudnytzky, Vynnychenko's play Brekhnia was staged by Friedrich Kayssler, director of the Volksbühne in Berlin and had 60 performances in 1922, while Chorna pantera i bilyi vedmid' was both staged and filmed. The critical appraisals of both plays in the German press, however, were mostly negative, says Rudnytzky. The final contribution in this Festschrift, that by D.A. Di Marco gives a profile of the Italian actress and theater director Emma Grammatica who staged Vynnychenko's play Brekhnia in Italy in the early 1920's with herself in the role of the protagonist. It was "through Emma Gramatica's initiative and hard work that Vynny_enko became famous, admired, and loved in Italy..." says the author.

B123. Stus, Vasyl'. Selected Poems / Translated and edited by Jaropolk Lassowsky. Introd. by George Y. Shevelov. Munich: Ukrainian Free University; New York: Larysa and Ulana Celewych-Steciuk Memorial Foundation of the Women's Association for the Defense of Four Freedoms for Ukraine, 1987. xxx, 166 p. illus., ports.

Parallel texts: Ukrainian and English. Cover: Myron Levytskyj.

Translator's preface indicates that in 1984 an international committee was formed to nominate Vasyl' Stus for the 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature. It was at the request of this committee, headed by Jaroslav B. Rudnyckyj of the University of Manitoba, that the present collection of translations was made. The translator, for the sake of expediency, "selected only those poems of Stus that were written originally in vers libre." J. Lassowsky provided also a biography of V. Stus (pp. 149-162) with a focus on the poet's persecution by the KGB and his experiences and death in a Soviet labor camp. A critical analysis of Stus's poetry is given by George Shevelov in his introductory article (pp. xv-xxx). "The idea and theme of Ukraine pervades every poem of Stus", says Shevelov. "Always and everywhere, named or unnamed, the lost motherland appears as a sense of personal and national loss. Ukraine is a potion that intoxicates and possesses the poet, and it is a poison that leads him to his doom, killing him, body and soul..." "The poetry of Stus is thoroughly human and humane. It is full of exaltation and abasement, of despair and joy, of malediction and compassion, of shouts of pain and gnashing teeth, and of retreats into one's self and discoveries therin of the universe's boundlessness."

Contents of English language material: Introduction / Natalia Pazuniak [pp. 7-12].

The dramatic poem "In the Wilderness" whose setting is the Puritan community in Massachusetts deals, according to Pazuniak, with "man's conscious choice of a way of life". "This type of inner conflict reflecting individual choices", says Pazuniak, "may well make this dramatic poem one of the early examples of existentialist drama in Europe."

Cambridge, MA.: Distributed by the Harvard University Press for the Ukrainian Research Institute of Harvard University [c1989]. xxxii, 172 p. (Harvard library of early Ukrainian literature. English translations, v.4)

Contents: Editorial statement.

Paisii Velychkovs'kyi (1722-1794) was a Ukrainian ascetic and spiritual teacher. His autobiography covers only twenty-four years of his life (1722-1746), from the time of his birth to his move to Mt. Athos. According to Tachiaos, this autobiography "even in its half-completed state, constitutes not only a source of rare value for the history of monasticism and religious life in the Ukraine and Moldavia during the first half of the eighteenth century, but an original and poetic narrative that to this day manages to captivate its readers." Mytrofan's biography of Velychkovs'kyi, according to Tachiaos, draws heavily on his teacher's autobiography for the early years, but supplements it with later developments until the monk's death. Says Tachiaos: "Mytrofan's Biography succeeds perfectly in its objective, namely, to provide an accurate depiction of Paisij's spiritual figure. Consequently, in both form and content Mytrofan's text is essentially a hagiographical work..."

Translations of the short stories: Sestra.

The translator's introduction [based, according to the author, on Marko Vovchok, statti i doslidzhennia (Kyiv, 1957)] provides a biographical sketch and a general characteristic of Vovchok's work. Says N. Pedan-Popil: "All of Marko Vovchok's stories show her deep concern for the fate of the Ukrainian peasant woman of whose feelings and problems she wrote with great understanding and respect. In highly emotional fashion she reveals her heroines' hard lives as serfs and their sometimes difficult position in the family as housewives and mothers. She pities the unhappy lot of young peasant girls made victims of the dissolute behavior of their lords, and, in matters dealing strictly with peasant family relations, she stresses their fate under the prevailing stern patriarchal traditions."
