Bibliography of Resources for Ukrainian Literature – Slavic, East European & Eurasian Studies

This webpage offers an annotated list of bibliographic publications dedicated to Ukrainian literature, which are available at the UIUC library.

The origins of Ukrainian literature date back to the times of Kyivan Rus’. With the adoption of Christianity in the late tenth century, the literary tradition started to develop in what is now known as Church Slavonic language (a bookish language based on the South Slavic spoken dialects using the Cyrillic script that has been developed specifically to the needs of Slavic phonetics), first in the form of translations but already in the early eleventh century, original texts (chronicles, lives of saints, sermons, and secular didactic texts) started to be written by natives of Kyivan Rus’. With the fall of Kyiv to the Mongol invasion in 1240 and the feudal disintegration of the Rus’ principalities, parts of what is now Ukraine came under the political and cultural domination of the Great Duchy of Lithuania and the Polish crown. In this period, Latin and Polish are added to the list of languages of the literary production by the Ruthenian intellectual elites (that, is coming from Rus’). In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, a vast body of literature in all three of these languages is associated with polemics around the advantages and disadvantages of the religious Union, which would subordinate the Ukrainian Orthodox Church to the Catholic Pope but preserve the Byzantine rite. The Cyrillic script writings in the period exist in the condition of diglossia between the standard of bookish Church Slavonic and the vernacular dialects spoken in Ukraine (prosta mova). With more and more phonetic and vocabulary elements of the latter making their way into the written literature, what is now known as the Old Ukrainian literary language is formed. During the Baroque period, a prolific production of poetic, prosaic, and dramatic works is associated with such centers of education as Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and Ostrih Academy. The most famous of authors writing in the Old Ukrainian literary language is undoubtedly Hryhorii Skovoroda (1722-1794), a writer and philosopher.

The beginnings of modern Ukrainian literature in the vernacular language are associated with Ivan Kotliarevsky (1769-1838), whose mock-heroic poem Eneida published in 1798 was the first ever publication fully based on the dialect spoken in the Poltava region. Many more followed, especially as the representatives of Romanticism in the early nineteenth century turned to folk sources and knowledge in their new conceptualization of the Ukrainian nation as an ethnic nation (along with similar processes in other European nations at the period, especially those without their own political entity or otherwise seeing themselves as being under a foreign threat). Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861), a representative of that movement, is up to this date considered to be one of the most influential authors in Ukrainian literature. In Western Ukraine, which had been under Austro-Hungarian rule since the late eighteenth century, the first publication in the vernacular Ukrainian language would appear three decades later than in the central Ukraine which was under Russian imperial rule. It was Rusalka Dnistrova (1837), a collection of original and translated literary works by Markian Shashkevych, Ivan Vahilevych, and Iakiv Holovatskyi (together known as Rus’ka triitsia). In Western Ukraine, as far as Cyrillic-script literature is concerned, the vernacular language coexisted up until the early twentieth century with a bookish language that was oriented toward the standards of Church Slavonic and literary Russian with local phonetic and lexical traits, known as iazychiie. In the bibliographies overviewed below, especially those originating from the period, both vernacular and iazychiie texts can be referred to as written in the Ruthenian language. This designation was used interchangeably with the word “Ukrainian” when referring to the literary language based on vernacular roots: as a result of deliberate efforts by authors, translators, and linguists who believe in the unity of the Ukrainian nation on both sides of the Russian-Austro-Hungarian border, by the end of the nineteenth century included features based not on a single dialect (e.g. Poltava or Galicia) but a variety of dialects spoken by Ukrainians.

The fall of both Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires in the wake of WW1, the ensuing revolutionary attempts to establish independent states both in Central and Western Ukraine, their failure to repel foreign invasions, and the war between two political entities that claimed ethnic Ukrainian lands — the USSR and Poland — resulted in abrupt changes in the cultural and literary landscape, which many of the listed bibliographies reflect. In Soviet Ukraine, a brief period of Ukrainization in the 1920s (part of wider indigenization policies throughout the Soviet Union) brought about vibrant developments on the literary scene. This literary generation is mostly known now as the Executed Renaissance since so many of them were shot, sent to labor camps, or simply silenced into oblivion during the Stalinist purges of the 1930s. In Western Ukraine ruled by Poland, the climate for Ukrainian cultural production was nowhere nearly as harsh as in the Soviet Union, yet, still, the literature of the period reflects an understanding of a threatened national identity. The inhabitants of Subcarpathia (what is now known as the Transcarpathia region of Ukraine), which has been on the margins of the processes of literary language unification in the nineteenth century and ended up in Czechoslovakia during the interwar period, developed a sense of a separate identity and a unique literary language that is most often referred to as Rusyn or Carpatho-Ruthenian (as to distinguish from the use of the term “Ruthenian” to identify the language of the Orthodox Eastern Slavs in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Ukrainian language in the Austria-ruled Eastern Galicia). Bibliographies in this guide reflecting an understanding of the cultural production of this region as a separate one have been published as early as the 1940s, while others reflect literary production from Transcarpathia besides that of our regions of Ukraine.

The territorial changes during and in the wake of WW2 resulted in all Ukrainian lands being united within the borders of one state, the Soviet Union. This period has also engendered a multi-million diaspora of Ukrainians in Western Europe and in the new world, comprised of people unwilling to return to live under the totalitarian Soviet rule. The members of the intellectual elites were overrepresented in this wave of emigration since they knew they were most likely to be repressed because of their ideological and aesthetic dissent from the Soviet doctrine. That’s why the literary landscape of the post-WW2 emigration in places like Germany, Argentina, the United States, and Canada, was especially vibrant, which is reflected by a number of bibliographies overviewed below, listing both works in Ukrainian and those in the languages of the host countries, particularly English.

In the post-WW2 Soviet Union, the discourse about literature saw further institutionalization, which ensured its alignment with the state ideology. A strict understanding of the canon of both pre-1917 and Soviet Ukrainian literature arose, which is reflected by many bibliographies below. Contemporary authors’ works were included in bibliographic publications based on their membership in the Writers Union. Moreover, since the state doctrine included the concept of the Brotherhood of Peoples, which suggested that individual nationalities within the USSR should develop cultural ties and borrow from one another, multiple bibliographies from the period allow evaluating the number of mutual translations that existed between Ukrainian and languages of other Soviet republics.

The three decades of post-Soviet Ukrainian literature have had their ups and downs. On the one hand, the elimination of ideologic and aesthetic censorship with the fall of the Soviet Union finally allowed writing and publishing what had been previously prohibited. On the other hand, the economic crisis and the reorganization of literature as an institution according to commercial principles after decades of state support disrupted the connection between the authors and their readers.

The bibliographies below are organized in the following sections. Whenever an edition covers more than one of these periods, it is listed under the earliest period covered.

Ukrainian literature up to the early 20th century

Ukrainsʹki pysʹmennyky; bio-bibliohrafichnyi slovnyk.

Beletskii, A. I. Kyiv, 1960-65.
U of I Library Call Number: International and Area Studies Library 016.89179 UK7 from:v.1 until:v.5

In Ukrainian. A comprehensive 5-volume biobibliographic dictionary covering Ukrainian literature since the times of Kyivan Rus’. The entry dedicated to each author contains some of the following types of information (exact organization varies between the volumes): brief biographical essay; bibliography of first editions of their publications and the most important renewals (e.g. in collected editions and anthologies); bibliography of selected critical publications about the author; bibliographies dedicated to this author. The first volume is dedicated to Old Ukrainian literature, that is, from the times of Kyivan Rus’ up to the 1798 publication of the first literary work in vernacular Ukrainian. The second and third volumes cover publications between 1798 and 1917, and the fourth and fifth volumes overview the authors between 1917 and 1960. A downside of this edition is that it is organized as a dictionary, which is especially obvious in the first volume where entries like “Polemic literature” or “Prose literature” may appear beside entries dedicated to individual authors whose names start with “P.” The coverage of the Soviet period is not comprehensive: while some of the repressed authors have been already posthumously rehabilitated by 1960 and returned to the readership, others, like Khvyliovyi, haven’t been yet. Hence, for the 1920s, the Ten Years… edition listed below is a better source, while the present edition is an absolute go-to for the earlier periods of Ukrainian literature.

In Ukrainian. This edition is a comprehensive overview of the Ukrainian literature of the decade between 1917 and 1927, compiled at one of the last moments before the onslaught on Ukrainization started, eventually leading to many of the authors featured here being erased from the canon of Ukrainian literature and, physically, from existence during the purges of 1930s. The UIUC library has facsimile copies of both volumes of this highly important edition (the third volume had been announced but was never published). The first volume comprises bibliographical information, organized alphabetically, by author. Individual authors’ sections are supplemented with short biographical paragraphs and photographs; reviews and critical publications, as well as translations into other languages, are included in the list. A PDF version of the first volume is also available online at the Diasporiana archive. The second volume contains scholarly articles and surveys of the most important trends of the decade.

Planeta Di-Pi : literaturni ostrovy

Kozak, Serhiĭ. Kyïv, 2021.
U of I Library Call Number: International and Area Studies Library 016.0579 K849p

In Ukrainian. Focused on the cultural life of the Ukrainian milieu formed about the displaced persons camps in Germany and Austria in the aftermath of WWII. The bibliography is structured around 15 periodicals published by Ukrainian émigrés between 1945 and 1948. The contents of each periodical are presented in two ways: first, issue-by-issue; then, with full references to individual articles, reviews, or literary works, organized by genre or rubric in the periodical. Finally, the guide is supplemented by a name index, which is helpful in locating individual authors’ publications across journals, but not comprehensive, especially taking into account that many people published under pseudonyms. For instance, one should already know that “Viktor Ber” and “V. Domontovych” were Viktor Petrov’s pseudonyms to make use of the name index, since only the latter name is included in it, referencing publications under all these names.
