„Najsławniejsi pisarze doby”: Antoni Malczewski i poeci „szkoły ukraińskiej” w Prelekcjach paryskich Adama Mickiewicza

Abstract

Marta Białobrzeska’s article “The most famous writers of the time” – Antoni Malczewski and Other Poets of the ‘Ukrainian School’ in Adam Mickiewicz’s “Parisian Lectures” addresses the issue of the presence of the life and works of poets of the Ukrainian school in Adam Mickiewicz’s Parisian Lectures. The article shows that the works of Antoni Malczewski, Seweryn Goszczyński and Józef Bogdan Zaleski were presented by Mickiewicz in several different aspects: biographical (showing the key, in his opinion, events in the authors’ lives and their influence on their work), comparative (in comparison with contemporary authors from Western Europe, as well as with other Slavic authors), historical (showing the achievements of poets of the ‘Ukrainian school’ in the context of the history of Poland and Europe at the turn of the 18th century, especially the Napoleonic era), ludic (assessing the work of Goszczyński, Zaleski and Malczewski from the perspective of communal sources of poetry) and poetic (referring to the artistic qualities of their works).
