Yet they reflect events dating back to as early as the 1300's. Ukrainian epic and historical song provides new translations in contemporary English. It also explains the historical events celebrated in epic and other historical songs: fierce battles, rebellion against tyranny, the struggles of captivity, the joys of escape from slavery. Natalie Kononenko's expert translation and analysis of Ukrainian epics provides a sweeping social history of folklore that is vital to Ukrainian identity. A translation of at least one variant of every known epic is included. Whereas earlier trends in folklore scholarship emphasized genre purity and compartmentalization, Kononenko critically examines the events about which songs were sung. Her emphasis on the lives of ordinary people rather than on leaders reshapes our understanding of how epics were composed and performed. Kononenko's ground-breaking analysis also illuminates Ukrainian self-understanding and explains how songs preserve and perpetuate historical memory. Scholars interested in epic song, history, and general folklore will benefit from this work. Members of the Ukrainian diaspora will find new appreciation of Ukrainian folklore."--$cProvided by publisher 606 $aDumy, Ukrainian 606 $aDumy, Ukrainian$xHistory and criticism 610 $aUkrainian Ottoman relations. 610 $aUkrainian. 610 $aepic. 610 $ahistorical memory. 610 $ahistorical song. 610 $ahistory. 610 $anational identity. 615 0$aDumy, Ukrainian. 615 0$aDumy, Ukrainian$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a782.42162/91791 686 $acci1icc$2lacc 686 $acoll13$2lacc 700 $aKononenko$b Natalie , $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01125260 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814593703321 996 $aUkrainian Epic and Historical Song$93972002 997 $aUNINA
