Nieznana rosyjskojęzyczna twórczość dyneburskiej poetki i nauczycielki Olgi Daukszty

Abstract

The article examines the unknown, Russian-language oeuvre of Olga Daukszta. The explanation why a significant part of the poet’s manuscripts was lost is based on the research works of Helena Filipionek and Agnieszka Durejko (PhD). The analysis of the surviving papers draws on Daukszta’s students’ letters as well as on some diary notes of the poet herself. The unknown writings contain her recollections from the 1940s and 1950s, and show the hardships of her postwar life and other personal problems she had to face at the time. The trial and tribulations were not without consequences on the content of her literary works. The article also presents some selected Russian-language verse of Daukszta.
