Young Europe and the Birth of Modern Nationalism in the Slavic World
Giuseppe Mazzini’s Young Europe and the Birth of Modern Nationalism in the Slavic World examines the intellectual currents in Eastern Europe that attracted educated youth after the Polish Revolution of 1830–1. Focusing on the political ideas brought to the Slavic world from the West by Polish émigré conspirators, Anna Procyk explores the core message that the Polish revolutionaries carried, a message based on the democratic principles espoused by Young Europe’s founder, Giuseppe Mazzini. Based on archival sources as well as well-documented publications in Eastern Europe, this study highlights that the national awakening among the Czechs, Slovaks, and Galician Ukrainians was not just ...
A History of Polish Literature
Anna Nasilowska's A History of Polish Literature is a one-volume guide that immerses readers in the rich tapestry of Polish literature and reveals its enduring impact on European identity from the Middle Ages to the late twentieth century. By exploring key themes, writers, and works and grounding her discussion in crucial biographical context, she weaves together the lives of a carefully curated list of Polish writers to paint a vivid literary portrait, elucidating the epochs that these writers shaped. Offering indispensable insights for readers who may be unfamiliar with the world of Polish literature, it is an excellent jumping-off-point for further study and learning.
The Heathen
Narcyza Zmichowska (1819–76) was the most accomplished female writer to come out of Poland in the mid-nineteenth century. In terms of influence and popularity, she was the George Eliot of East European letters, but her fiction was written less in the realist style than in the Romantic one. Her novel The Heathen, rendered here in a crystalline English translation by Ursula Phillips, is the tale of a doomed love affair between Benjamin, a young man from a poor but patriotic rural family, and Aspasia, a femme fatale who is older, beautiful, worldlier, and more sexually liberated. As the story unfolds, Benjamin falls in love with Aspasia, accompanies her to Warsaw, and under her influence achi...

Another canon : the Polish nineteenth-century novel in world context
Polish contemporary literature is not a closed book to European and world readers. Those not involved professionally in the production or study of literature may well have heard of Stanisław Lem, Witold Gombrowicz, Czesław Miłosz, Wisława Szymborska or the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature for 2018, Olga Tokarczuk. The situation is different with Polish literature of earlier periods, including the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century novel. The works of Ignacy Krasicki, Michał Czajkowski, J\'{o}zef Ignacy Kraszewski, Eliza Orzeszkowa, Maria Komornicka, Stefan Żeromski and Bolesław Prus - the exception perhaps is Henryk Sienkiewicz, whose novels were translated into many languag...

The Polish Swan Triumphant
This present collection of George Gömöri’s essays covers several centuries of Polish literature and its reception abroad. The first three essays are devoted to Jan Kochanowski, the greatest poet of the Polish Renaissance, followed by shorter pieces on Stefan Batory, King of Poland from 1576 to 1586, whom Montaigne thought to be ‘one of the greatest princes of our age’. This is followed by a comparative essay on the Pole Mikołaj Sęp Szarzyński and the Hungarian poet Bálint Balassi, both important poets of the late sixteenth century, and an essay with an Amendment, investigating Sir Philip Sidney’s little-researched visits to Hungary and Poland. A substantial part of the book is ...
Romantic Nationalism in Eastern Europe
This book explores the political imagination of Eastern Europe in the 1830s and 1840s, when Polish, Russian, and Ukrainian intellectuals came to identify themselves as belonging to communities known as nations or nationalities. Bilenky approaches this topic from a transnational perspective, revealing the ways in which modern Russian, Polish, and Ukrainian nationalities were formed and refashioned through the challenges they presented to one another, both as neighboring communities and as minorities within a given community. Further, all three nations defined themselves as a result of their interactions with the Russian and Austrian empires. Fueled by the Romantic search for national roots, they developed a number of separate yet often overlapping and inclusive senses of national identity, thereby producing myriad versions of Russianness, Polishness, and Ukrainianness.
Die polnische Revolution von 1846 in Galizien
Lesya Ivasyuk wirft zum ersten Mal einen umfassenden und interdisziplinären Blick auf die polnische Revolution von 1846. Sie zeigt auf, dass dieses 171 Jahre zurückliegende Ereignis – trotz seines geographisch gesehen engen Rahmens – ein Vorbote des „Völkerfrühlings“ war und zahlreiche Modernisierungsversuche verursachte. Der Ausbruch der Revolution in der österreichischen Randprovinz Galizien wühlte ganz Europa auf. Zum wiederholten Mal stand die polnische Frage auf der Tagesordnung, wobei die Rolle der Bauern entscheidend war. Die österreichische Monarchie wurde wegen ihrer Vorgehensweise bei der Niederschlagung zur Zielscheibe der internationalen Kritik. Die von der Autorin herangezogene und von ihr begrifflich erweiterte historische Hermeneutik ermöglichte qualitativ neue Interpretationen dieses Ereignisses.
