DESCRIPTION:A public lecture exploring the chimerical\, creolised writing 
 of the 1830s produced in and about Ukraine.\n\nThe appearance of Nikolai G
 ogol’s _Evenings on a Farm near Dikan'ka_ compelled critics at the start
  of the 1830s to recognize the existence of the chimerical\, creolized wri
 ting that they provisionally named “Little Russian literature.” Produc
 ed in and about Ukraine\, this literature was thought to be distinct from 
 its imperial counterpart\, being national (narodnyi) in a way that Russian
  literature was held not to be\; the critics even supposed that it could t
 each “being national” \n(narodnost') to Russian literature. “Little 
 Russian literature” would soon be forgotten (or repressed) by the nation
 ally-oriented criticism of the 1840s\, its writers distributed between the
  “new” Russian and Ukrainian literatures\; and yet\, in its last bit o
 f legerdemain\, it would (re-)form these literatures on the very basis of 
 its own forgetting.\n
