"Popiel i Piast" Mieczysława Romanowskiego w dokumentacji genezy

2020

The tragedy of Mieczysław Romanowski Popiel i Piast, published in 1862, was enthusiastically received by critics in the second half of the 19th century as a testimony to a realistic overthrow of the primacy of Romantic aesthetics in depicting the legendary prehistory of the Polish nation. The preserved handwritten documentation of the genesis of the work, previously viewed randomly and through the prism of its printed version, analyzed using genetic critique methods, reveals the author’s original ideas – closer to the “used” forms of romanticism – and breakthrough moments in shaping the presented world, characters and conflicts of the drama.
