Cyprian Norwid
This is the first full-length study on the outstanding Polish poet and thinker Cyprian Norwid for the English-speaking reader. It provides a biographical sketch sufficient for the understanding of his work, and discussion of his achievement in each genre, with the emphasis on poetry. An English edition of selected works is in progress, as Norwid's work is not considered easy in his native Polish, which he uses with brilliant inventiveness. The brief summary of Norwid's thought and historiosophy indicates his connection to both Christian and nineteenth-century European philosophical traditions.

Poems
Considered a "Christian Socrates" by one critic and a "hieroglyph stylist" by another, Cyprian Norwid was more unanimously recognized, however, as one of the most vital figures in Polish letters whose verse is as idiosyncratic as it is profound. Traveling against the currents of the philosophy of his day, Norwid was a historicist with deep insight into the codes and ripples in the society around him. This engaging bilingual collection, selected and translated from the Polish by Danuta Borchardt, includes many of Norwid's revered poems, including Vademecum. True to its Latin summons, "go with me," the epic poem invites the reader to accompany Norwid on a journey though many lands and timeless question, seeking truth. We witness Norwid decrying the tight-fisted city folk of London, befriending Frédéric Chopin – whom he meets during his travels, and lamenting the death of a friend. Lyrical, moving and often biting, this collection gives an evocative glimpse into the world of an extraordinary poet.

Cyprian Norwid and the History of Greece
This book scrutinizes Norwid's fascination with Greek history and culture, especially his peculiar synthesis of Greek thought and Christianity, the relationship of Platonism with early Christian writings and their presence in modern culture, the opposition of memory and history, and the image of the artist and its influence in 19th-c. social life.
