ШЕВЧЕНКО В КОЛІ КЛАСИКІВ: НОВІ ПІДХОДИ ДО ВИВЧЕННЯ ТВОРЧОСТІ ВЕЛИКОГО УКРАЇНСЬКОГО ПОЕТА (НА ОСНОВІ ПУБЛІКАЦІЙ М. ЛАСЛО-КУЦЮК)
SHEVCHENKO IN THE CIRCLE OF CLASSICS: NEW APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF GREAT UKRAINIAN POET’S WORKS (BASED ON PUBLICATIONS OF M. LASLO-KUTSYUK)

Summary/Abstract: The basis of the research were made by the literary critiqal articles of the Romanian Academic M. Laszlo-Kutsyuk about Shevchenko and other prominent Ukrainian writers and figures, and also the monograph "Shevchenko`s works on the background of his age", "Gods of light and gods of darkness," "The key to the belletristic". In the article "Scovoroda and Shevchenko" Romanian researcher discovers that Kobzar condemned the language the wan- dering philosopher used. However he shared Scovoroda`s philosophical views,especailly he was impressed by the criticism of Russian feudal system.We also can see the influence of Scovoroda`s works on Shevchenko`s works, "Vsyakomu gorodu nrav y prava" on the prologue to the poem "Dream". The fates of Shevchenko and Kostomarov were not similar, but some milestones in their lives impess us with similarities. Some researchers believe that the political views of Kobzar were formed under the influence of "Genesis of the Ukrainian people" N. Kostomarov. However, M. Laszlo-Ktsuk proves that the ideas of the equality of nations Shevchenko hatched before meeting with Kostomarov and expressed them in the epilogue to the poem "Gaydamaku." So M. Laszlo-Katsuk concludes that Kostomarov did not have such a big influence on Kobzar, as he is credited by many researchers. The relationships between Shevchenko and P. Kulish were different. They talked a lot, drew together. However, the difference between them the Romanian researcher explains by the belonging to different psychological types of personality. Kulish was an intuitive aesthetic introvert, in the socionics - alias "Yesenin." And Shevchenko was statically ethical-sensorable introvert, "Dreiser." Comparing them, we make the conclusions that Kulish resorted better in epics, instead of with the lyrics of Kobzar were an exclusive phenomenon. The observations on the influence of the initiator of modern Ukrainian literature Kotlyarevskyi on Shevchenko are interesting. Kobzar even took one of the characters in the story "Gemini" Kotlyarevskyi as a prototype. Some literary critics see the influence of "Natalka Poltavka" on the play "Nazar Stodolya." Innovative became not only M. Laszlo-Katsuk approaches to the exploration of the creative work, but also to the understanding of the certain artistic trends. In particular, she traces the development of romanticism in Ukrainian literature, its specifics. So, one could argue that the Romanian researcher was able to make a comprehensive analysis of not only the works of Shevchenko, but the author as a personality.
