Mykhajlo Rudnytskyi and Vasyl Stefanyk: lights and shadows of their relations
Abstract:
The article lights up the complicated relations of M. Rudnytskyi and V. Stefanyk. Rudnytskyi considered Stefanyk as the real artist, admired expressiveness and brevity of his style. Spared much attention to the question of re¬ception of Stefanyk’s writings.
A commonunication of Stefanyk and Rudnytskyi never was simple and unambigiuous. There were active phases in it, and also periods of silence, light moments, and also misunderstanding and conflicts. М. Rudnytskyi undertook the role of mediator between Stefanyk and his readers, someone like “ma¬nager” or literary agent. Sometimes it resulted in misunderstanding. A few ambiguous episodes of their mutual relations are considered in the article.
In particular, it is about the preface of Yuri Morachevskyi to the anniversary edition of the works of Vasyl Stefanyk. M. Rudnytskyi, as the editor of the book, did not include this preface for some of his reasons. Another ambiguous episode concerns Stefanyk’s article on the staging of his works in the Zagrava Theater. M. Rudnytsky also refused to publish it.
Several of Rudnytsky’s publications on V. Stefanyk, his literary style and peculiarities of his work were also analyzed.
Keywords: Mykhajlo Rudnytskyi, Vasyl Stefanyk, Yurij Morachewskyi, Volodymyr Blawatskyi, theatre “Zahrawa”, Roman Horak, interwar literature environment.
