Бунт Хмельницького Ало'п'за Гонзаги Жулковського перша драма про укра'п'нського гетьмана на польській сцені XIX CT.

Abstract

Khmelnytsky's uprising written by Aloyizy Honzaha Zhulkovskyi is the first drama about Ukrainian hetman on the Polish stage of the 19th century. It was created in 1812 and had short stage run but was never printed. Text preserved in the National Museum Library of Warsaw is the earliest drama text of 19th century devoted to Bohdan Khmelnytskyi. The emerging of this text can be interpreted as the beginning of pre-romantic tendencies and rising interest in history of Ukrainian-Polish relations and Cossack epoch. At the same hme, the play was as relevant as ever because there exists a strong desire of playwrights to respond to im- portant social and polih'cal problems of that b'me.
