PROPHET OF RENAISSANCE (To the 135th Anniversary of Yanka Kupala’s Birth)
Abstract
The article explores the life and work of the classic of Belarusian literature Yanka Kupala (1882–1942) who made a great impact on the history of Belarusian culture of the twentieth century. It addresses collections of his lyrics, such as “Zhaleika” (Hornpipe), “Guslyar” (Gusli Player), “On the Way of Life”, “Heritage” etc. and his poems, plays and journalism. The authors seek to overcome the established ideological clichés and inconsistency which until now hamper the perception and understanding of this great writer’s work.
