Ukrainian literature is literature written in the Ukrainian language.
Kievan Rus
The original literature in Kievan Rus was written in the Church Slavonic and was strong between the 11th and 13th centuries. One major work was the Tale of Bygone Years by Nestor the Chronicler. Another key work includes the Slovo o polhu Ihorevi (The tale of Igor's campaign).
Decline of Rus and Lithuanian-Polish Commonwealth period
The Ostrih Bible was printed in 1581. Other works included anonymous Perestoroha and the writing of Hypatius Ponti
Bandura
The sixteenth century included the folk epics called dumy. These songs celebrated the activities of the Cossacks.
The Aeneid
The father of Ukrainian literature in the modern vernacular form of the Ukrainian language is Ivan Kotlyarevsky, who wrote a travesty of Virgil's Aeneid (1798). This mock epic poem turns Virgil's characters into Ukrainian Cossacks. Its language was based on the spoken Ukrainian of the Poltava region.
Romantic Period
Shevchenko
Realism
Modernism, Expressionism, and Impressionism
As in all European countries, literature in Ukraine was involved in the modernism process. Topics of feminism were raised in the works of Lesya Ukrainka and Olha Kobylyanska. Other two important writers were Valerian Pidmohylny and Viktor Petrov. Their writing was inspired by existentialism.
