    O d K i j O w a d O R z y m u Z dziejów stosunków Rzeczypospolitej ze Stolicą Apostolską i Ukrainą pod redakcją M. R. Drozdowskiego, W. Walczaka, K. Wiszowatej-Walczak Białystok 2012 Serhii Plokhy H arvard mystifying the Nation: The History of the Rus’ and its French models The History of the Rus’, a key text in the creation and dissemination of Ukrainian historical identity, began to circulate in St. Petersburg on the eve of the Decembrist Revolt of 1825. Among its admirers were some of the best-known Russian literary figures of the time, including Alexander Pushkin and Nikolai Gogol, as well as some of the empire’s most prominent rebels. These included Kondratii Ryleev, a poet who was hanged for his role in the Decembrist Revolt, and Taras Shevchenko, another poet generally recognized as the father of the modern Ukrainian nation, who was exiled to the Caspian steppes for his role in a clandestine Ukrainian organization. On the surface the History of the Rus’ is little more than a chronicle of the Ukrainian Cossacks. The narrative begins in the late Middle Ages and ends on the eve of the modern era. If one digs deeper, however, the manuscript is by no means what it appears to be.1 1 On the History of the Rus’, see: S. Kozak, U źródeł romantyzmu i nowożytnej myśli społecz- nej na Ukrainie, Wrocław 1978, pp. 70–135.

Grabowicz 1 The bicentennial of Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861) coincided with a remarkable political and social upheaval—a revolution and a national renewal that as of this writing is still ongoing and still under attack in Ukraine.1 The core, and iconic, presence of Shevchenko in that process, and dramatically and symbolically on the Euromaidan itself, has often been noted and the revolutionary changes in which it was embedded will continue to draw the attention of political, sociological and cultural studies in the foreseeable future.2 If only through those manifest optics, Shevchenko was at the center of things in Ukraine—now, as often before.

Inevitably, the characterization of a broad range of contemporaneous poets and poetry under the single unifying name can be viewed more as an exercise in historical The Funeral of Shelley by Louis Edouard Fournier (1889); the group members, from left compartmentalization than an attempt to right, are Trelawny, Hunt and Byron to capture the essence of the actual ‘movement’.[citation needed] Poets such as William Wordsworth were actively engaged in trying to create a new kind of poetry that emphasized intuition over reason and the pastoral over the urban, often eschewing consciously poetic language in an effort to use more colloquial language. Wordsworth himself in the Preface to his and Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads defined good poetry as “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings,” though in the same sentence he goes on to clarify this statement by In Western cultural context romanticism substantially contibuted to the idea asserting that nonetheless any poem of of "how a real poet should look like". An idealized statue of a Czech poet value must still be composed by a man Karel Hynek Mácha (in Petřín Park, Prague) repesents him as a slim, tender “possessed of more than usual organic and perhaps unhealthy boy.

    FOUR IMMORTALS POETS GARDEN AT ARROW PARK CONTENTS FROM THE 1970 ORIGINAL COMMEMORATIVE BOOKLET REDESIGNED AS PART OF THE ARROW PARK HISTORICAL ARCHIVE – SEVENTIETH YEAR PROJECT — 1948-2018 ARROW PARK 1061 Orange Turnpike PO Box 465 Monroe, New York 10949 arrowparkny.com ORIGINALLY WRITTEN/PUBLISHED 1970 FOUR IMMORTALS Foreword This booklet is a collection of literary sketches of four world-known poets - Taras Shevchenko, Alexander Pushkin, Walt Whitman and Yanka Kupala. In introducing this booklet, we want to acquaint you with a short history of the monuments to the Four Immortals and Arrow Park where the monuments were erected. The park itself is situated in the beautiful hills of Upper New York State. One of its powerful attractions is a large lake for fishing, boating and swimming. Its vast wooded areas make for a beautiful resting place for the park's members and their friends. This naturally provided resort complex is complemented by specially built cottages for guests who spend their summers basking in the sun and enjoying the clean fresh air. Originally purchased by the progressive Russian American community, Arrow Park has presently become the center for other groups, including Ukrainian Americans, Polish Americans and many other nationality groups, in this manner adding an international touch to the whole project. During the summer months, Arrow Park hosts Ukrainian, Russian and Polish Days, at which the respective cultural groups (choirs, dancers and orchestras) present their programs and popularize the rich cultures of their nations for the benefit of warmly responding diverse audiences. Guided by the spirit of friendship and cultural relations with their brothers across the ocean, the shareholders of Arrow Park set up a special body, known as the Arrow Park Cultural Project Committee.
