Learning outcomes
This course broadens the knowledge of Ukrainian literature of the 20th century. The literary process was very complicated in the 20th century and it resulted in intellectual changes and new artistic expression in Ukrainian literature. At the same time, this period of chaos and moral inversion was in important creative period (Cherkashenko, Honchar, Zahrebelny, Klen etc.) Special attention is paid to the generation of 1960s and the important changes such as expressionism and impressionism - Kocjubynskyj, Stefanyk.
