Learning outcomes

Ukrainian Literature 1 introduces students to basic literary terminology, categorizing the study of literature into genres, literary forms, and the fundamental expressive forms of fiction. It provides students with an introduction to the study of Ukrainian literature, as well as a series of lectures on the earliest Ukrainian literature, spanning the 10th to the 16th centuries. The main focus of the series is on epics, chronicles, and annals, which represent the gradual development of literary forms in ecclesiastical and, later, secular literature. The significance of both translated and original works is not overlooked. We comprehensively trace the development of ecclesiastical literature. Furthermore, the course examines the European significance of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and its contribution to Ukraine, and focuses on The Tale of Igor's Campaign and the bylina (from the Ukrainian word bylina) tradition in Ukrainian literature. Another period studied is the 14th-16th centuries, covering the emergence of printing and polemical literature.
Students will gain theoretical knowledge about the classification of literature into genres and types, and will also learn to use basic literary terms in both Czech and Ukrainian. As part of a general introduction, students will be introduced to the nature of literature, its aesthetic function, and the use of various artistic devices. Students will learn the characteristics of emerging styles in Ukrainian literature, the thematic areas of the earliest Ukrainian literature, the basics of dramaturgy, and the significance of the Brotherhood schools and philosophical works.
