This paper examines to what extent the paradigm of the decadent hero in French literature can be applied to two Ukrainian novels written at the turn of the century, namely Andrii Lahovs’kyi (1905) by Ahatanhel Kryms’kyi and Blyskavytsi (1912) by Mykhailo Yatskiv. In my analysis of these two novels I do not limit myself to the discussion of the decadent sensibility and worldview but I also pinpoint elements of technical innovation introduced by these two writers. I argue that these novels (considered marginal by some critics) exemplify the most consistent synthesis of decadent traits in Ukrainian fin de siècle literature.

This paper examines Ukrainian literary scholarship in the post-independence period and points to the methodological chasm that occurred between the younger generation of literary critics (the new elite) and the academic establishment (the old elite). It argues, however, that both elites, despite being methodologically apart, share the same concerns for the well-being of Ukrainian national culture.

This paper elucidates the main trends in Ukrainian literary discourse since independence and argues that the contribution of women authors is not only quantitatively substantial but also qualitatively significant both in literary criticism and in belles-lettres. Women critics revolutionized literary scholarship by making it subjective and theoretically challenging. Employing feminist, psychoanalytic, and phenomenological approaches, these female scholars introduced novel modes of reading and literary analysis, and reinterpreted classic works and authors of Ukrainian literature. They were also in part responsible for establishing first gender centers in academia. Women writers and poets, on the other hand, introduced gender issues in belles-lettres, focusing on female subjectivity and advancing progressive attitudes and ideas. Women’s writing is by and large pro-Western and reflects challenges and new conditions facing Ukrainian post-Soviet society.
