(F oto b y E d S u lliv an ) KATRYA H RYNEVYCHEVA, WRITER 1875— 1947 Katrya Hrynevycheva, in addition to novels, poems, and articles in various Ukrainian journals, wrote several longer works. Two of these were historical novels about Prince Roman Halytsky (12th century) and the times following his death. These were written in an old archaic form of the Ukrainian language. Literary critics maintain that Katrya Hry nevycheva had the deepest knowledge of the language and was able to give it an archaic style. She came to have stick a knowledge of the Ukrainian language through intense study. She grew up in the ancient Polish city of Cracow, whence her father had been transferred. She xvas very active in the social life of the Polish youth} and on one occasion was shown a newspaper page. When asked what language she thought it was, she replied “Hebrew.” Upon being told that what she thought was printed in Hebrew was actually a page of a Ukrainian newspaper, she was deeply shaken by her ignorance of her own native language. She thereupon embarked on an intensive study that continued through out her lifetime. During vacations in various villages, she made notes on rarely heard ancient idioms. From having to learn a Ukrainian poem for a program by studying it phonetically written in Polish, she advanced to become one of the foremost experts on and lovers of the Ukrainian language. She was editor, for a time, of a children’s magazine and. also Presi dent of Soyuz Ukrainok in Western Ukraine. We recently observed the anniversary of the death of this interesting writer who has been called one of the most erudite women of her time. НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ — ЛЮТИЙ, 1973 17
