«In the hidden thoughts:
the motives of Volodymyr Svidzinsky’s artworks»

Description

The poetic work of Volodymyr Yevtymiyovych Svidzinskyi is an original phenomenon in the Ukrainian literature of the first half of the 20th century. As noted by the French Slavist Emmanuel Rice, the world in the writer’s poems is «a country where no human foot has yet passed, a country that impresses with its novelty and unusualness». Today, when Ukrainian culture has taken a century-long step from the era of the remarkable renaissance, the reader is presented with a general philological work designed to unite the views of linguists and literary critics on the work of one of the most prominent poets of the Executed Renaissance. The monograph is devoted to substantiating the essential features of the motive of the lyrical work, analysis of the motive structure of Volodymyr Svidzinskyi’s poems, and elucidation of the specifics of lexical and syntactic means of expression of crucial motives and artistic time-space in the artist’s poetry.
