Abstract
Taras Shevchenko’s works are iconic to Ukrainians as they contain mental, psychological, and archetypal codes of national existence as an ethnicity. At every stage of their analysis there is a need to address the research of the past as well as resort to their new comprehension. The topicality of this research consists in interpretation and amplifying of Ivan Franko’s comparative analysis of Taras Shevchenko’s poem Naimychka (The Servant Girl) and his homonymous novelette presented by the scholar in his habilitation lecture (given at Lviv University on February 18, 1895). The research is conducted within comparative literature studies framework. Leaving aside the unquestionable importance and weight of the studies by the classic writer, the purpose of this paper is to expand comparative experiments with the abovementioned Shevchenko’s works with consideration of current advances in research methods. A valuable finding of the paper is refinement of some facts, related to the time and sequence of the poem’s and the novelette’s appearance, as well as solving certain analytical problems stated by I. Franko (defining chronotope, comparing descriptions and qualities of characters etc.), which can be continued in a prospective research.
