The Lyrical Dramas of Lesya Ukrainka (A Distinctive Writing Style)
2025
Overview
This article explores the lyrical aspects of Larysa Kosach’s (Lesya Ukrainka, 1871–1913) dramas, which delve into themes such as the establishment and development of Christianity, ancient mythology, basic plots, national history, and folklore. Known for her openness to various languages and cultures, Lesya Ukrainka significantly enriched the genre system of Ukrainian literature. She established genres such as the dramatic poem, feerie drama, and drama etude, which are all integral to lyrical drama. The lyricism in Ukrainka’s dramas is primarily seen in the construction of conflict, which unfolds not through actions, as in classical theatre, but rather through the consciousness and experiences of the characters, their discussions, and reflections. This lyricism is also evident in the structure of her works, including the character’s language, rhythm, tone, pace of speech, and melody. Her dramas predominantly feature monologues, meditative digressions, subtle hints in the character’s thoughts, sketchy descriptions, and telegraphic syntax. Along with the content of her works, the lyricism is further enriched by detailed descriptions of nature and the incorporation of folklore.
