Stefan Javors'kyj's Sermons 1691-1698 - Studies in Slavic Literature and Poetics

This edition presents a selection of 15 sermons by Stefan Javors'kyj (1658-1722), a Ukrainian poet and preacher of the late 17th century. His imagination, knowledge, and rhetorical skills made him one of the leading European writers of his time. For political reasons, his sermons remained in manuscript for over 300 years. The editors have painstakingly transcribed the Ukrainian texts and annotated them in English. The edition makes Javors'kyj's works available to scholars who wish to broaden their knowledge of an unknown part of early modern European literature. Edited by Giovanna Brogi, Maksym Yaremenko, Tetiana Kuzyk, Marzanna Kuczynska, and Jakub Niedzwiedz with an introduction by Marzanna Kuczynska in collaboration with Bartosz B. Awianowicz, Grzegorz Franczak, and Monika Miazek-Meczynska.
