Abstract
In 1772, following the partition of Poland between Austria, Prussia and Russia, Western Ukraine, then a part of Poland, was annexed into the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Ukraine, its history, people and culture drew the attention of Austrian writers. Literary themes taken from Ukrainian folklore, the life of the peasants and the life of the bourgeoisie, appeared in the works of such Austrian writers as Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Hans Weber Lutkow and Emil Karl Franzos.
