Пан та Собака та інші вірші (Петро Гулак-Артемовський та інші)

This article contains 39 complete Ukrainian poems and fables written between 1818 and 1856 by five poets, most of them from the Kharkiv circle (Biletsky-Nosenko, Hulak-Artemovsky, Borovykovsky, Metlynsky and Kostomarov), from the 1922 Kyiv anthology edited by Oleksandr Doroshkevych: the satirical fable The Master and the Dog, Horace retold as village talk, the ballad Marusia, romantic poems about Cossacks, bandura players and the native tongue. Level C2 suits readers who want to read literary Ukrainian as it was before the modern standard. You will learn the burlesque and romantic styles of the period, old spellings such as hyphenated particles and short infinitives in -ть, and the Russian, Church Slavonic and Polish forms that mark the language of the 1820s-1840s.
