The Polish-Ukrainian encounter in the ideology of Taras Shevchenko

My project is intended as a study of sources that led to the national revival 
in Ukraine and to the rise of Taras Shevchenko as a national poet and bard of 
his nation.  It will attempt to reassess the significance of the literary and 
political currents that emanated from Young Europe and Young Italy, via Young 
Poland  to Ukraine.
The movement first caught the imagination of exiled Polish emigres in France 
and through their publications reached other Slavic nations, contributing to 
the revival of their national consciousness and dreams of European unity.  In 
Ukraine, the works of Taras Shevchenko and the Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood 
bear strong traces of the ideology of this movement.

The project is limited to the earliest contacts of Shevchenko with Polish 
intellectual circles  (from l829 to l847), that is up to his arrest as member 
of the Cyril and  Methodius Bortherhood and prior to his extensive contacts 
with some forty  Polish exiles, the most distinguished of whom were Bronislav 
Zaleski, Edward Zeligowski and Zygmund Sierakowski.

The significance of Shevchenkos poetry for  the  Cyril and Methodius 
Brotherhood (l846-47) - the first secret Ukrainian political organization in 
Imperial Russia - and ultimately,  for the Ukrainian National revival of the 
nineteenth century has never been questioned, but the extent to which 
Shevchenko reverberated the democratic and revolutionary ideas that engulfed 
all of Europe through his early contacts with Poles and the ideology of Young 
Poland, deserves  renewed and thorough investigation. I emphasize the word 
renewed since besides the path-breaking work by Vasyl Shchurat on Shevchenko 
and the Poles (l9l7),  together with later studies on the Brotherhood and 
Shevchenkos debt to Polish sources by V.I. Semevskii, Volodymyr Mijakovskyj, 
George Luckyj, and Stefan Kozak,  the subject has been generally neglected, 
largely due to a traditional overemphasis of the Russian   influence on the 
Brotherhood.   However, since the publication of a three-volume  body of 
documents on the Brotherhood  by P. S. Sokhan  (l990) and the  publication of a 
new critical edition of the collected works of Shevchenko in Kyiv,  we are 
beginning to witness a  re-assessment of this unquestionably significant, 
albeit one-sided approach, as demonstrated already by several critical 
historical  studies by Anna Procyk, Johannes Remy, and several scholars in 
Ukraine.

The objective of my research activities in Ukraine is qualitative.  It will 
consist in raising and answering specific questions on Taras Shevchenkos 
sources, with particular attention to the reflection in his works of the ideals 
of Slavic brotherhood and democratic and revolutionary ideas of  Young Poland. 
It will also raise the question of Shevchenkos relationship to and influence on 
the Brotherhood of  Cyril and Methodius and  delineate  the ideological 
foundations of the Brotherhoods Book of Genesis of the Ukrainian people and the 
ideologies of  the specific members of the Brotherhood  (Mykola Kostomarov, 
Panteleimon Kulish, Vasyl Bilozersky, and Ivan Hulak).  I hope to answer these 
question on  the basis of  archival material and consultation with specialists 
on Shevchenko and Ukrainian intellectual history in Kyiv, Lviv, and briefly at 
the Ossolineum in Warsaw.

Although I am primarily a literary scholar and have for many years taught 
classes in Ukrainian, Russian, and Comparative Slavic literatures, I do not 
claim to be as a specialist on Shevchenko, or a historian of the period. 
However, as a result of my primary scholarly interest in Slavic mythology,  I 
have become dedicated  to the separation of  primary source material from 
layers of accumulated folklore and ideologically motivated speculations and  I 
am convinced  that a reassessment of source material is essential to the 
formulation of  new and original hypotheses.  At the same time, I have long 
been interested in the Brotherhood of Cyril and Methodius  ( I was actually 
dissuaded from writing my dissertation on the subject because my mentors felt 
there was then no access to sufficient sources)  and have recently presented 
several papers at national and international conferences on Shevchenkos early 
contacts with Poles.  As a former professional librarian,  I am also very able 
to seek out and trace hidden source materials and publications.  I am fluent in 
Ukrainian, Russian, and Polish.

  I believe that my project will be of great interest to my host country. The 
study of Shevchenko has always been central to Ukrainian scholars, both of the 
older and younger generation.  Working on Shevchenko and the Brotherhood in 
Ukraine (and in Poland), I will not only gain access to archival material and 
publications unavailable in U.S. (such as the journals Polnoc, Tygodnik 
Peterburgski, Polska Chrystusova,  Osnova, and the archive of Vasyl Shchurat in 
Lviv), but benefit from the guidance and knowledge of numerous  distinguished 
literary scholars - with whom I have long-standing close personal contacts 
such as Academician Dr. Mykola Zhulynsky  (Director of the Institute of 
Literature of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences),   Academician Dr. Tamara 
Hundorova (Head of  the Literary Theory Section of the Academys Institute of 
Literature), Academician  Ivan Dziuba in Kyiv,  Dr. Maria Zubrytska 
(Pro-rektor of the National  Ivan Franko University in Lviv), and the 
distinguished historian Dr. Jaroslav Hrycak in Lviv, as well as  the Associate 
Director of the National Ukrainian Archives Genadi Boriak in Kyiv who has 
promised to help me gain access to the archives.

My affiliation will be with the National Academy of Sciences (invitation 
forthcoming) and I will work most closely with  Dr. Tamara Hundorova who has 
urged me to apply for a Fulbright and is willing to become my personal advisor. 
I hope to complete my project within the l0 month of my tenure and  intend to 
publish it in the form of a monograph.

During my tenure in Ukraine,  I plan to share my research with other scholars, 
participating in conferences, round-tables, and lectures.   With the assistance 
of Dr.Tamara Hundorova in Kyiv and Dr. Maria Zubrytska in Lviv, I also hope to 
schedule  some outreach seminars in other cities to test my approaches with 
those of other scholars and hopefully introduce, especially the younger 
generation of Ukrainian scholars and students,  to some new Western approaches, 
both in methodology and in dealing with Ukrainian cultural history in a more 
European and Western context. Ultimately,  the significance of my project lies 
in the attempt to show how the spirit of Young Europe after the Napoleonic era, 
of which Young Poland  was an integral part,  brought West-European ideals of 
liberty, emancipation, and impetus to  national revival of all Slavs, including 
the Ukrainians.

I have long been active in Ukrainian Studies, serving already as a student as 
Vice-President of the National  American-Ukrainian Student Organization, and 
have been for many years Executive Board member of the Association for the 
Study of Nationalities, the Shevchenko Scientific Society, the Ukrainian 
Academy of Arts and Sciences in U.S., Columbia Universitys Advisory Board on 
Ukrainian Studies, as well s founding member and President of the American 
Association for Ukrainian Studies (2002-2006), a constituent member of the 
International Association for Ukrainian Studies (MAU).  As a member of these 
organizations and the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic 
Studies (AAASS), I have continuously lecture on Ukrainian subjects and 
sponsored, chaired, or organized Ukrainian sessions at major national and 
international conferences in U.S., Canada,  Ukraine, Finland, Germany, 
Yugoslavia, and Japan. Since I participated in almost all of the International 
Congresses on Ukrainian Studies in Ukraine (Kyiv 1990, Kharkiv 1996, Odessa 
l999, Chernivtsi 2002, Donetsk, 2005), I can honestly say that I have excellent 
collegial relations with numerous Ukrainian scholars, many of whom I have 
helped adjusting to American conditions, especially during their Fulbright 
tenures at Columbia University.
