Summary/Abstract: Daria Vikonska (1893–1945) was a Western Ukrainian author of short fiction, essays, literary criticism, art-historical studies, and ethnopsychological research. One of the most current and debated issues in the scholarship on Vikonska’s short fiction concerns her style. The étude Begonia Rex is seminal to the conceptualization of this issue. This text has expressionist features at both the poetic-stylistic and aesthetic levels. Furthermore, it foregrounds the author’s psychotype, revealing her as a feeling psychological type (C. G. Jung) for whom expressionism is the most organic creative style. The text also functions as an intuitively written and subsequently consciously reflected manifesto of deeply personal expressionism (a feminine version of expressionism).
