Manning, Clarence A.

Clarence Augustus Manning (1893‑1972), Ph. D. 1915 Columbia University, and professor in that University for forty years, chairman of its Slavic Department for half of that, devoted most of his life to Slavic studies, and in particular the history and literature of Slavic peoples beyond Russia, concentrating more especially on Ukraine. His Oct. 7, 1972 obituary in Svoboda, the Ukrainian weekly of North America, reads in part: "A non-conformist for his times, Professor Manning challenged the pro-Russian school of historiography in this country and persisted in a crusading spirit to publish scholarly works that eventually opened the field of study to other Slavic peoples. He published a series of thought-provoking articles and books on the history and literature of Ukraine, as well as studies on the history of Bulgarians, Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Byelorussians, Serbs, Croats and Slovenes."

The Story of The Ukraine
by Manning, Clarence A. — This book aims at undoing the Russian view that Ukraine was a sort of subsidiary appendage of Mother Russia. The fact that Ukraine was invaded and partitioned by her neighbors Russia and Poland, and that her nationhood was consequently submerged for several hundred years, does not somehow cancel the equally undoubted fact that Ukraine was not an appendage of Russia but on the contrary…
