Lecture | A Ukrainian Voice in the Russian Empire: Panteleimon Kulish's First Novel and Its Reception (online)

Thursday, September 22, 2022, 2:00 pm

Free

This presentation will examine how the prominent nineteenth-century Ukrainian writer, ethnographer, translator, historian, and national revival activist Panteleimon Kulish grappled with the thorny question of the fate of Ukraine in the Russian empire in his first novel Mikhailo Charnyshenko, or Little Russia Eighty Years Ago (1843). Nicknamed "the Ukrainian Walter Scott," Kulish attempts, in this work, to fuse the Gothic literary mode with the conventions of Walter Scottian historical fiction in order to produce a nostalgic picture of Ukrainian heroic and authentic culture on the brink of its succumbing to the homogenizing force of the Russian empire.

Speaker Valeria Sobol is Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
