Ukrainian Monograph about Joseph Conrad

Review: Ołena Tkaczuk, Multykulturna identycznist´ Dżozefa Konrada: krytyczno-typołohiczni wymiry. (Monohrafija). Kyjiw 2018

Summary/Abstract: Many researchers have risen the Ukrainian issues in Joseph Conrad’s biography and creativity, though they have offered rather contributions to the problem than ordered studies. This gap is filled with Olena Tkachuk’s monograph discussed here which places Conrad’s Ukraininty against the background of his multiculturality composed of the Polish Republic’s traditions, of the landowners’ model of upbringing, where crucial role was played by the French language and culture, and later of the British experience connected, inter alia, with the mode the figure of a gentleman was understood. The paper, freely exploiting the languages of modern humanities, is an example of a symbiosis between cultural studies and biography with comparative approaches.
