The tenth volume of the History of Ukrainian Literature presents a panoramic view of the multifaceted and complex literary process in Ukraine and beyond during the 1920s and 1930s. Specifically, it provides a concrete historical analysis of the continued development of modernism as an artistic movement, examining its primary stylistic trends and currents against the backdrop of the emergence and gradual dominance of ideologically biased (socialist realist) literature. The volume explores the historical and cultural circumstances of the literary process, covering the development of poetry, prose, drama, screenwriting, literary translation, literature for children and youth, and satire and humour. It integrates historical, genre-stylistic, and problem-thematic characteristics with cultural, biographical, and contextual perspectives. Presented in a biographical portrait format are the lives and works of Pavlo Tychyna, Maksym Rylskyi, Yevhen Pluzhnyk, Mykola Khvylovyi, Yurii Yanovskyi, Valerian Pidmohylnyi, Mykola Kulish, Mykola Zerov, Bohdan-Ihor Antonych, Yevhen Malaniuk, Yurii Lypa, Ulas Samchuk, and Natalena Koroleva.
