The focus is on the characteristic features of various literary streams and movements of Ukrainian modern literature, e.g. the generation of the authors of the 1960s, historical prose, literature of Ukrainian emigration and also the poetics of the contemporary post-modern literature. Peculiarities in the development of various literary genres (poetry, prose and drama) are also closely examined.
