SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY
The standard surveys, covering Ukraine from prehistoric times to the present, are Orest Subtelny’s Ukraine: a History (Toronto 1988), and Paul Magocsi’s equally magisterial A History of Ukraine (Toronto, 1996.)
George Vernadsky’s Kievan Russia, volume two of his multi-volume A History of Russia (New Haven 1948), is a thorough, though now rather dated, account of medieval Rus. James Billington’s The Icon and the Axe (London 1966) gives an original overview of Rus art and culture; Richard Pipes’s Russia under the Old Regime (London 1974) traces the effects of Mongol suzerainty.
For the history of Polish rule in Ukraine, I relied on Norman Davies’s two-volume God’s Playground (Oxford 1981) and Adam Zamoyski’s The Polish Way (London 1987). Roman Szporluk’s After Empire: What? in Daedalus, vol.123, no.3, stresses Ukraine’s enduring Polish ties. Subtelny’s The Mazepists (Boulder 1981) details the rise and fall of Mazeppa, and Robert Massie’s Peter the Great (London 1981) includes a lively account of the events surrounding the battle of Poltava. Geoffrey Hosking’s Russia: People and Empire (London 1997) throws new light on tsarist imperialism. On Shevchenko’s career, I used Pavlo Zaitsev’s Taras Shevchenko: a Life, written in the 1930s and reprinted by the University of Toronto Press in 1988; translations of Shevchenko’s poetry are taken from Vera Rich’s Song Out of Darkness (London 1961). Hugh Seton-Watson’s Nations and States (London 1977) and John Armstrong’s Ukrainian Nationalism (Colorado 1990) thoughtfully analyse modern Ukrainian nationalism.
