| The interdisciplinary monograph, "Turns of Franko's spirit: Worldview. Ideology. Literature", studies the problem of Ivan Franko’s worldview, his ideological, aesthetic and literary evolution, which is properly divided into four stages. From this point of view, the relationships of the writer with the leading ideologists of the time — M. Drahomanov, M. Pavlyk, V. Barvinskyi, Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytskyi, etc., are comprehensively examined. Attention is drawn to the theological polemic of the priest Mykola Konrad against Ivan Franko. The paper closely explores such problems as Franko’s treatment of religion, his participation in the activities of radical and national-democratic parties, Franko’s divergences with them. Much attention has been paid to Franko’s evolution from the ideas of socialist federalism to national statehood. The writer’s responses to the tragedy of World War I and the Russian-imperial occupation of the Eastern Galicia are considered in the work. The researcher also focuses on the issues of intertextuality and typology (echoes and parallels with the poetry of T. Shevchenko, A. Mickiewycz, Yu. B. Zalesskyi, V. Symonenko, etc.). Particular attention is paid to the problems of symbolic autobiography, acquiring knowledge and expressing originality. Understanding of various aspects is supported by the clarification of source and factual issues. |
