@ARTICLE{Сердюк_Ігор_The_2021, author={Сердюк, Ігор}, volume={vol. LXX}, number={No 1}, pages={23-42}, journal={Slavia Orientalis}, howpublished={online}, year={2021}, publisher={Komitet Słowianoznawstwa PAN}, abstract={The article analyzes reflections on the child in the most notable works of the 18th‑century Ukrainian historical narrative: the chronicles of Samovidets, Hryhoriy Hrabianka, Samiilo Velychko, and Istoria Rusiv. These works, being the only historical thought reflections of the Hetman State, had no equal. Later they were to become the basis for constructing the modern vision of the Cossack past on the part of 19th‑century Ukrainian historians, writers, and public figures. The focus is on those plots and contexts where the authors addressed children’s topics. The 18th‑century vision of childhood is investigated on that basis, along with the impact these stories had on later recipients and the formation of modern ideas about childhood in “old Ukraine”. Attempted is also a study of children’s topics as a tool for describing and constructing the past in Baroque rhetoric and historical narratives.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The Child in 18th‑century Ukrainian Historical Narrative}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/119933/2021-01-SOR-02-Serdiuk.pdf}, doi={10.24425/slo.2021.136999}, keywords={Baroque, chronicles, childhood history, Cossacks, Hetman State, historical myth}, }
