Abstract
Different types of international literary contacts in Ukrainian literature studying are analyzed in the article. Special attention is paid to research of different nations relations (Ukrainian-Polish) on the material of historical subjects texts. First of all, the article analyses the works of the representatives of the “Ukrainian school” in Polish literature (S. Goszczynski, B. Zaleski, J. Slowacki, Z. Fisz). Also, the comparative approach makes it possible to establish the general regularities of the formation of romanticism as a method and direction in world literature (for example, in the various genre works of J. Byron, V. Hugo, J. Słowacki, B. Zaleski, K. Ryleev, T. Bulgarin, B. Lepkyi, etc. the means of romantic poetics are excavated: the cult of a strong personality, for which the struggle for freedom, both personal and of one’s nation, is important, striving for an ideal when creating a personosphere, unusual passions of heroes, mysterious, illicit love and punishment for it, significant aesthetic load of descriptions of nature, connection of the latter with human life. Considerable attention is paid to the life and creative pages of the biographies of Taras Shevchenko and Ivan Franko (in particular, the Polish-Lithuanian and, accordingly, Polish-Austrian component in their life work), which provide a wide scope for studying intercultural contacts, as well as the Polish component in the biographies of I. Nechui-Levytskyi and P. Hulak-Artemovskyi. The article examines various fictional versions (Polish and Ukrainian) of well-known historical events and figures (Khmelnytskyi region, Koliivshchyna, Hetman Mazepa, Sultanka Roksolana). A lot of space is given to the translation heritage, which contains an important potential for the realisation of intercultural contacts. The role of the regional factor (i.e., literary local history), which should be taken into account when teaching literature, is emphasised. The comparison of the similar and different in two phenomena of different national literatures improves the understanding of each of them as a unique and original phenomenon of art and at the same time an integral part of the world literary process. The international context should be especially emphasized when teaching the course to foreign students or students of the faculty of foreign languages.
