Volodymyr Kubijovyč is remembered for writing that changed what came after it.
The record lists Volodymyr Kubijovyč as Ukrainian historian, geographer, encyclopedist, publisher, and public and political figure (1900–1985).
Volodymyr Kubijovyč was born at Nowy Sącz in 1900. His recorded nationality is Cisleithania. He was educated at Jagiellonian University.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, literary form itself came under argument, and the certainties of the realist novel were dismantled.
He worked as historian, encyclopedist and publisher.
The writing is recorded in Polish and German.
Reputation in letters is unusually volatile: writers are forgotten for a generation and then recovered by one.
That the work was written from Cisleithania matters: language, censorship and the reach of a publishing industry decide which books travel and which stay local.
Volodymyr Kubijovyč died in 1985, aged 85. The books remain, which is the only durable form a writing life takes.
