The present book is a volume of articles in honor of Edward Mozejko. Its chosen title, A World of Slavic Literatures: Essays in Comparative Slavic Studies in Honor of Edward Mozejko, although seemingly immodest in the expanse of thematic purview it suggests, is actually but a partial indicant of the scope of Edward Mozejko's contribution to Slavic scholarship in a number of disciplines. It is the breadth of this contribution, if unfortunately not its complete depth, which this volume seeks to acknowledge with a selection of fourteen comparative articles ranging chronologically from the nineteenth to the twentieth century across various forms of artistic expression in six Slavic cultural traditions.

Natalia Pylypiuk's article "Vasyl' Stus, Mysticism, and the Great Narcissus" was awarded a prize for outstanding article by the American Association of Ukrainian Studies.
