Czytelnictwo, prasa, biblioteki we wczesnych pismach Glogera do 1876 roku

Abstract

Michał Siedlecki analyses in his article questions of readership, press and libraries in the early writings of Zygmunt Gloger, published by him until 1876. Siedlecki claims here, first of all, that the broadly understood Polish culture occupies an important place in the literary and research achievements of Gloger, who, with his aesthetic sensitivity, volubility, as well as special virtuosity and analytical inquisitiveness, closely followed and tracked down the cultural and social phenomena of the second half of the 19th century on the Polish territory, indicating at the same time – in his discerning, sometimes ironic Polish language – their good and bad sides. Siedlecki comes here from the assumption that the author of Dolinami rzek (Along River Valleys) (1903) is an intriguing figure of his era, whose above-average creative personality is immensely wanted in Poland today
