The Cossack revolution of 1648 redrew the map of Eastern Europe and established a new social and political order that endured until the early nineteenth century, with the full integration of Ukraine into imperial states. It was an era when Ukrainian Cossack statehood was established, when a country called Ukraine appeared for the first time on European maps, and new, diverse identities emerged.
Eighteenth-Century Ukraine provides an innovative reassessment of this crucial period in Ukrainian history and reflects new developments in the study of eighteenth-century Ukrainian history. Written by a team of primarily Ukrainian historians, the volume covers a wide range of topics: social history, demographics, history of medicine, religious culture, education, symbolic geography, the transformation of collective identities, and political and historical thought. Special attention is paid to Ukrainian-Russian relations in the context of eighteenth-century Russian imperial unification.
Eighteenth-Century Ukraine is the most comprehensive guide to new visions of early-modern Ukrainian history.
“A significant achievement. It will be invaluable to those in the English-speaking academia who are initiating their research on Ukraine or teaching courses on the history of Ukraine, Eastern Europe, or the eighteenth century.” Eighteenth-Century Studies
“Well edited and well indexed, this book is a significant contribution to the historical literature on Ukraine.” University of Toronto Quarterly
“Eighteenth-Century Ukraine is a pioneering collection that brings an important derzhavynk corrective to the dominant understanding of Ukrainians as a ‘small Eastern European people’ (Andreas Kappeler). As such it will help to reintegrate Ukraine into the European panorama of the ‘Age of Lights.’ There can be no doubt that it is an extremely valuable resource for both research and teaching.” Ukraina Moderna
