The new book by Kyiv literary critic, head of the Shevchenko Studies Department at the Taras Shevchenko Institute of Literature of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Oleksandr Boron thematically, methodologically, and even structurally continues the collection of his Shevchenko observations "Below that comma..." published by Krytyka Publishing House in the summer of 2022. The author has collected his publications in scholarly periodicals of 2021-2023 under one cover, revising and correcting them specifically for this edition. The researcher examines the controversial episodes of Taras Shevchenko's biography, refuting some dubious and amateurish hypotheses, comments on the textual and source problems of his work, and focuses on the overlaps and typological coincidences of his stories with several works by European writers. A separate section of the collection is devoted to Shevchenko's artistic heritage.
