Ukrainian Artists on Literary Writing from the Middle Ages to Modernism. Anthology

Ukrainian literature is both a mysterious labyrinth and a complex symphonic work. And this anthology is a journey through this labyrinth and the score of this symphony, where you will find reflections of writers from the Middle Ages to the mid-20th century on the art of writing and the role of language, on style and the power of words.

From the first hesitant attempts at literary theory in the Middle Ages to the bold searches of avant-garde artists and the texts of Praguers saturated with national meanings, every page here is filled with questions and answers, doubts and hopes.

The laconic and apt comments of researcher Olga Petrenko-Tseunova, like the light of a lantern, help to see the holistic process and at the same time highlight important details: how each generation of authors leaves a mark, and their voices weave the fabric of Ukrainian literature - as changeable as time, and as eternal.

This is a book for students to understand the depth of the literary process and feel the eternal dialogue between authors. For writers to hear the echo of those who sought themselves in words. And for those who simply love literature and Ukraine, because it gives an opportunity to look into history and understand how Ukrainian literature is woven into the world fabric.
