The book «Shevchenko's Myth of Ukraine. The challenge of philosophical analysis» was first published in 1997 and had the effect of a bomb in the Ukrainian literary studies — not less than «Polish research on Ukrainian sex» in literature. The author's method of interpreting classical texts scandalised the adherents of the Great Kobzar's canon, and the discussion quickly turned into a battle for sanctity. Now, from a distance of twenty-five years, we suggest readers to look at this unique work in the context — the additional supplement of literary criticism and publlicism reflects the controversy that has been going on since the first publication of the book.
