The Cossack revolution of 1648 redrew the map of Eastern Europe and
established a new social and political order that endured until the
early nineteenth century, with the full integration of Ukraine into
imperial states. It was an era when Ukrainian Cossack statehood was
established, when a country called Ukraine appeared for the first
time on European maps, and new, diverse identities emerged.
Eighteenth-Century Ukraine provides an innovative reassessment of
this crucial period in Ukrainian history and reflects new
developments in the study of eighteenth-century Ukrainian history.
Written by a team of primarily Ukrainian historians, the volume
covers a wide range of topics: social history, demographics,
history of medicine, religious culture, education, symbolic
geography, the transformation of collective identities, and
political and historical thought. Special attention is paid to
Ukrainian-Russian relations in the context of eighteenth-century
Russian imperial unification. Eighteenth-Century Ukraine is the
most comprehensive guide to new visions of early-modern Ukrainian
history.
