Nad juweniliami Zygmunta Krasińskiego

Abstract

The article is about Zygmunt Krasiński’s works created before the year 1828 and therefore including the poet’s debut, the tale called Grób rodziny Reichstalów (The Tomb of the Reichstal Family). Those works tend to be somehow related to the author’s father, Wincenty Krasiński: they are either praises of the noble householder (and also of the feudal tradition and the noble house itself) or include disturbingly hostile accents against him, sometimes combining both tendencies. Their connections with the classicistic tradition and Dark Romanticism can also be seen as a reflection of the poet’s dualistic sentiments towards his father.
