Juliusz Slowacki was another great Romantic poet who created a unique vision of the Ukrainian steppe. However, in Beniowski (1841) we can find two types of steppe landscape, one associated with the west bank of the Dnieper, the other extending over its east bank. This distinction has inspired the interpretation presented in this article.The steppe of Podolia has been tamed and coexists with the civilized landscape of cornfields, gardens and orchards. The East Ukrainian steppe is a vast plane dotted with innumerable prehistoric barrows, symbols of transience and death, and, at the same time, a wilderness teeming with life. It is a place where one is free to commune with history and with God. The steppe pantheism is expressed in Beniowski with the sharpness of a flash of lightning. This is indeed like experiencing the presence of God.

The paper considers the subject of Ukrainian regionalism of the early Romantic age concentrating upon the expanse of the Ukrainian steppe. Ukraine became the privileged Earth for Romantics although the course of history separated her from the borders of Poland, she functioned as the cradle of Polish history and the national spirit in the creative awareness of poets. The Ukrainian steppe with it vastness gave feeling to a sense of history and spirituality.The paper examines interest within the motif of the Ukrainian steppe in the works of poets involved in the so-called “Ukrainian school”. Consequently calling upon famous names such us Antoni Malczewski, Seweryn Goszczyński or Bohdan Zaleski, through equally referring to less famous poets like: Tomasz Olizarowski and Maurycy Goslawski. The author pays attention to the way the Ukrainian steppe was portrayed, considers the sphere of the fairytale and mythology which manifests itself within supernatural figures inhabiting the Ukrainian steppe.
