Mandryka, M. I. H isto ry of U krainian L ite ra tu re in Canada. Winnipeg, U krainian Free Aca demy of Sciences, 1968. Pp. 247, illus. English language scholarly works on U krainian lite ra tu re are none too p le n tifu l; every new title , therefore, is a welcome ad dition. M andryka’s work is a pio neer study in an area th a t was not dealt w ith in book fo rm be fore. I t presents much in terest ing historical data and a wealth of biographical inform ation on Ukrainian-Canadian authors. In many respects, however, this study is a disappointing one. The very concept of “ Ukrainian lite ra tu re in Canada,” is no where clearly defined. The sub je c t m atter wonders o ff con stantly beyond the scope of the three key terms in the t it le : “ U krainian,” “ lite ra tu re ” and “ Canada.” A ll w ritin g by Cana dians in the U krainian language seems to be covered — not ju s t belles lettres, poetry and lite ra ry criticism , but folklore, jo u rn a l ism,” as well as popular and scholarly works on a variety of topics. English language lite ra ry works by Ukrainian Canadians are included also, as are co n tri butions to the study of and translations fro m U krainian l i t erature by authors of non supper, zapusty, on February 20, to which i t invited the U krainian American community of Houston.

M. Dushnyck U krainian origin. There is a sec tion on “ Neighbors and guest w rite rs ” devoted to non-Cana- dian authors who are described as having made a contribution to the Ukrainian-Canadian lite ra ture “because they either wrote something- on Canadian themes, resided at one- tim e in Canada, or even wrote about somebody else who resided in Canada. (This section, however, does not cover the topic of Canadian themes in U krainian lite ra tu re proper, but merely points to a few randomly selected contem porary emigre w rite rs ). Consid ering such all-inclusiveness i t comes as a shocking surprise th a t a U krainian w rite r o f the stature of Ulas Samchuk (a resi dent of Canada fo r 20 years) is mentioned merely in passing as one who has behind him “ an im posing lite ra ry production” but who has “ not as yet contributed to the U krainian Canadian lite r a tu re /’ One m ig h t have expect ed d iffe re n t and more consist ent crite ria in a work published by the U krainian Free Academy on the occasion of the centennial of the Canadian Confederation and subsidized by the Centen- ial Commission.
