Diaries in comparative perspective X-XVIII century.

obligatory courses

Basic skills in analysing and interpreting literary texts.

Classroom

The course is devoted to Old Ukrainian diaries from the 10th-18th centuries in comparative perspective. The course aims at presenting the continuity of the process of development of literature from the 11th to 18th centuries, with particular attention to its originality, richness of issues, topics, and formal proposals, starting from the Christianisation of Kievan Rus, changes caused by the influence of the Renaissance, and the writing of the Baroque era, which is crowned by the work of Hryhorii Skovoroda.

The classes deal with personal documents (diaries, memoirs, letters) from the time of "The Tale of Bygone Years" and "The Pouchenie" of Vladimir Monomakh's, "Ihumen Daniel's Pilgrimage from the Russian Lands to the Holy Land" etc. to the numerous long and short diaries of the Baroque era, including Grab’yanka’s , Samovydets's and Velychko's Cossack Chronicles. Renaissance literature and works of the Baroque era are also analysed with an emphasis on their thematic and genre diversity. Lectures on Old Ukrainian writing aim to present the continuity of the process of development of this writing, beginning with the Christianisation of Rus' and Greco-Byzantine civilisational, religious and cultural influences, to the 'golden period' of the development of the literature and culture of Kievan Rus', continuing to a limited extent in the Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia to the transformations brought about by the influence of the Renaissance and Union polemics, and finally the writing of the Baroque era, which is crowned by the work of Hryhorii Skovoroda, including the biography of him written by his pupil.
