Język jako narodowość: Józef Emanuel Przecławski czy Osip Antonowicz Prżecławskij?

Abstract

The article analyzes how the choice of language of a creative work influences the self‑identification of a cultural figure of the 19th century. The analysis is based on the life of a prominent Polish journalist, Józef Przecławski, who chose to write in Russian for political reasons and left his mark on the history of culture as a Russian functionary rather than as a Polish journalist.
