“MUTTER MEINE QUELLE…” THE IMAGE OF THE MOTHER IN MOSES ROSENKRANZ’S POETRY

Summary/Abstract: The German-language literature of Bukovina was not the subject of interest of Ukrainian scholars for a long time. There are several reasons for this: firstly, many Bukovinian German-speaking authors were forced to emigrate abroad, and some were repressed and spent their lives in Soviet labor camps. In addition, the German-language literature of Bukovina was regarded as a colonial heritage of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, that is why the German language was forced out from the daily use in connection with the new political and social conditions. The article is aimed at the image of the mother in the poetic work of the Bukovinian German-speaking writer Moses Rosenkranz, in particular, in the collection “Bukovina. Verses 1920–1997”. The poems “Die Mutter”, “Die armen Mütter”, “Pieta auf dem Schlachtfeld”, “Abschied” are ana-lyzed, which give a clear idea of the author’s attitude to his mother and its reflection in lyrical poetry.
