The essence of the genre, the variability of its images, the intertextuality of its symbols, the originality of the conceptual framework of the Ukrainian corpus of alternative history texts, together with Western European and North American contexts, not only reveal comparative influences within the contemporary cultural space but also allow for an analysis of current strategies and sources of the literary process in Ukraine as a mirror of the nation’s existence—one that should serve as a screen for presenting Ukrainian literature to the English-speaking readership. popup.nrat_date 2025-09-18 Close
