aaus-list @ ukrainianstudies.org -- [aaus-list] Whitman in Ukraine

[Nina Shevchuk <n_shevchuk@YAHOO.COM> (by way of Robert DeLossa)]

Dear Colleagues:
The Walt Whitman digital archive (www.whitmanarchive.org) has started 
digitizing translations of Whitman's work into various languages to 
add to its resources. I am directly involved with the Russian and 
Ukrainian translations, so I am here to ask for some pointers.
I think I have my Russian covered, and I have the two Soviet 
Ukrainian editions of Leaves of Grass (1954 and 1982), but I find it 
difficult to believe that there was no "Ukrainian Whitman" before 
1954. I've had some difficulty even establishing the existence of 
earlier translations. Does anyone know of any Ukrainian poets 
translating Whitman? Does anyone know of any published translations 
before 1954? The archive has ways and means of obtaining materials -- 
even if there's just a manuscript in some obscure library, we can get 
it.
Thanks in advance for all your input.

Sincerely,

Nina Shevchuk-Murray
