Bücher der Reihe Ukrainian Studies

Offers a comprehensive study of the language programme of the prominent Ukrainian writer and ideologue Pantelejmon Kuli (1819-1897) whose translations of the Bible and Shakespeare proved most innovative in the formation of literary and the national self-identification of Ukrainians. The author looks at Kuli's translations from the perspective of cultural and ethnic studies.

The book offers a thorough study of the early poetry (1956?1971) of the Ukrainian/American writer Yuriy Tarnawsky, focusing on its evolutionary path from late modernism to postmodernism, which the author conceptualizes as a ?shift of dominants? from humanist (existentialist) questions to an anti-humanist and post-epistemological perspective.
