This essential collection introduces the poetry of Lemko-Ukrainian poet Bohdan Ihor Antonych (1909-37) to new audiences, and includes many first-time English translations, a biographical sketch by Michael M. Naydan, and a comprehensive introduction by Lidia Stefanowska, one of the world's leading experts on the work of this remarkable Ukrainian poet.

Emphasizes the revolutionary break with tradition enacted by the British Enlightenment and the effects of its inversion of traditional hierarchies. With specific focus on economics and politics, religion and society, this collection amplifies the remarkable contribution Michael McKeon has made to the intellectual history of the Enlightenment.

Michael McKeon urges us to distinguish between those aspects of the Enlightenment that eventually were used to organise epistemic violence and oppression from those aspects that were - and remain today - revolutionary.
