Comparative interpretations of Shevchenko, primarily based on Western European literature, were initially conducted. This study does not claim to provide a comprehensive coverage of the European context of “Kobzar”; but rather an attempt to identify the paradigm of this context, which is built upon manifestations of typological or intertextual commonalities and correspondences between Shevchenko’s poetry and that of prominent European poets of the Romantic era, from Burns and Leopardi to Heine and Hugo. Its main task is to present Shevchenko as a phenomenon of European scale and significance, one that is intrinsically embedded in the general context of the continent’s ideological and social life, spiritual culture, and literature, while being marked by a vivid national distinctiveness.
