Situated at a crossroads of states, cultures, and languages, Rusyn literature has survived a history of linguistic disorder, political oppression, and cultural denigration. Today a renewed Rusyn literature, written in newly codified linguistic variants, plays a decisive role in shaping the identity of the stateless Carpatho-Rusyn people. This anthology is the first comprehensive compilation of Carpatho-Rusyn literature in English.
