Journal Title: Львівський філологічний часопис - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue
Abstract
In the paper, the author points out that, writerly epistolary publicism is one of the most specific elements of national literary process during Romantic period. A real «explosion» of writerly publicism, epistolary in particular, can be traced in Ukrainian literature of this period. A letter allowed the artists to express their objection or agreement in any dispute immediately as well as openly. However, open letters, which could serve as arguments in literary discussions, are virtually non-existent in national writerly epistolary publicism. The developmental character and direction vectors of Ukrainian writerly publicism during Romantic period depended not only on the processes taking place in the national writing of that period, but also on a number of extra-artistic factors influencing its development. Admittedly, in the process of Romanticism formation not all discussions in Ukrainian literature concerned only literature affairs. These discussions always reached outside literature and dealt with the issue of unique Ukrainian language, literature, culture as well as Ukrainian nation and Ukrainian national identity. In this article, the author emphasizes that the epistolary form of romantic publicism simply increased its efficiency since a letter should be read and answered immediately. This led to the emergence of boisterous and long-lasting debates, which were typical for Romantic period in Ukraine. Based on the analysis of Ukrainian romanticist M. Kostomarov’s epistolary publicism extracts, the author proved that social and political issues are predominant in Ukrainian artists’ publicistic statements during Romantic period. In a number of open controversial and resonant letters, which were published in those days periodical press (they are «A letter to the publisher of «Kolokol», «A letter to the editor! Regarding the same issue», «A letter to publishers Livchak and Klimkovich», «A letter to A.D. Gradovsky», «Two Russian folk characters. A letter to the editor»), M.Kostomarov upheld the idea of Ukrainian people’s singularity and independence, their right for self-sufficient development, he also considered the nature and possible prospects of Ukrainian and Polish, Ukrainian and Russian relations. Aforementioned connected his publicistic statements with social and political area, and this was absolutely in compliance with national requirements of that time.
