This course focuses on the Old Ukrainian (or Old Russian) texts from the 11th to 17th centuries. We shall deal with the most important epochs and movements in Old Russian literature in the context of other arts of that period. We shall discuss the differences between Medieval and New Age aesthetics, the features of the mediaeval genre system and the changes in the relationship author ? text ? addressee in the medieval and modern literature. Thus the previously gained knowledge about the literature of the 19th and 20th centuries is set in the context of development of Ukrainian literature.
Students will get familiar with the specific features of Old Ukrainian literature and will understand the differences between the medieval and modern literature and especially the alternated function of literature in society.
