The First ‘Kobzar’

La Bibliothèque Britannique a bliodgi entouor la publyicâtion en 1840 dé ‘Kobzar’. À compather: la publyicâtion d'"Rimes Guernesiaises" en 1831 et d'"Rimes et Poësies Jersiaises" en 1865. La preunmié maîntchi du 19e siècl'ye têmouongnit à un întéthêt r'nouv'lé dans les littéthatuthes des langues dites régionnales en Ûrope.

The British Library has blogged ("The First ‘Kobzar’") the anniversary of the first publication of Taras Shevchenko's collection of poetry - a founding volume of modern Ukrainian literature. It's interesting to compare Shevchenko's influence with the founding volumes of modern Norman literature - the first published collections of Dgèrnésiais and Jèrriais poetry in 1831 and 1865 respectively. The first half of the 19th century witnessed a revival of interest in the literatures of so-called regional languages in Europe.
