From the Legacy of 19th-Century Ukrainian Intellectuals: Two Seminal Essays
From the Legacy of 19th-Century Ukrainian Intellectuals: Two Seminal Essays

Summary/Abstract: Among several ambitious projects initiated in the early 1970s by Professor Omeljan Pritsak at the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University (HURI), was a program of preparing English translations of key works of the Ukrainian intellectual tradition, including short essay-length texts. For various reasons, a considerable number of these essays, translated at that time, remained unpublished. Preserved in manuscript form by such former HURI scholars as Paul R. Magocsi and Frank E. Sysyn, these texts have been progressively made accessible to readers only in recent years within the contexts of various publication projects at the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS). In 2013, a selection of seminal texts by three prominent scholars and leaders of the Ukrainian national movement of the nineteenth century—Mykola Kostomarov, Volodymyr Antonovych, and Mykhailo Drahomanov—were published by the CIUS Press in the book: Fashioning Modern Ukraine: Selected Writings of Mykola Kostomarov, Volodymyr Antonovych, and Mykhailo Drahomanov. Edited by Serhiy Bilenky, this book appeared within the Manuscript Series of the Peter Jacyk Centre for Ukrainian Historical Research at the CIUS. The majority of texts included in that edition had been translated decades ago as part of the above-mentioned HURI translation project.
