History of Ukraine-Rus': Volume 4. Political Relations in the Fourteenth to Sixteenth Centuries (Cius Press Canadian Inst of Ukrainian Studies)

Excerpt From Book Jacket: With this volume, Mykhailo Hrushevsky begins his detailed, three-volume study of the second -- Lithuanian-Polish -- cycle of Ukrainian history. In it, he examines how the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland became the dominant powers in eastern Europe after the collapse of Ukrainian statehood in the fourteenth century. In their scholarly introductions in the volume, Svitlana Pankova and Robert Frost describe Hrushevsky's writing of the volume and assess its reception and its contribution to historiography. The volume features a map and three genealogical tables.
