Dwa poselstwa oboźnego litewskiego Ignacego Ogińskiego na dwór petersburski. Rola Litwinów w kontaktach dyplomatycznych z Rosją w latach 1711-1763
2020
W artykule przedstawiona została problematyka funkcjonowania dyplomacji Rzeczypospolitej w stosunkach z Rosją w latach 1711-1763. Za dolną cezurę przyjęto poselstwo Marcjana Dominika Wołłowicza do cara Piotra I, które jednoznacznie zakończyło okres separatystycznych litewskich działań dyplomatycznych z pierwszej dekady XVIII wieku. Przywrócona została zasada prowadzenia wspólnej polityki zagranicznej Korony i Wielkiego Księstwa z uwzględnieniem większego zainteresowania Litwinów stosunkami z Rosją. Znajdowało to swój wyraz w przygotowywaniu instrukcji i innych dokumentów poselskich przez kancelarie litewskie, jak też w zwyczajowym udziale w każdej misji Litwina jako eksponowanego członka po…

Charles Nodier, Trilogie écossaise
2013
Charles Nodier’s summer ambulations through Scotland in 1821 were to spawn a genre: the romantic travelogue. The reader is invited on a journey through age-old legends and oneiric cartography, through the fogs of ancient Caledonia and modern Scotland, and into the land of goblins and fairies.
