Uniwersytet Kijowski w życiu i twórczości polskich romantyków

Abstract

The essay aims to show the University of Kiev as a center of particular importance in shaping the literary, patriotic and ideological talents of Polish youth, who were associated with the university established as a result of the liquidation of the legendary Krzemieniec Comprehensive School. The University of Kiev, which was a center established by the tsarist authorities in order to eradicate Polish culture, became the center of a specific intellectual and literary underground, a place where patriotic attitudes of many Poles were formed, as well as the place of promotion of Polish poets’ work which served as inspiration and an important point of reference for writers associated with the Kiev University.
