Z tym większą radością konstatujemy, że udało nam się również zgromadzić, spośród dość licznego grona Przyjaciół Zakładu, kilkoro gości, którzy zechcieli wpisać się w dość pojemną od strony teore­ tycznej i historycznoliterackiej formułę: Od oświecenia, ku romantyz­ mowi i dalej... Autorzy - dzieła - czytelnicy. Ze zrozumiałych wzglę­ dów nie usiłujemy nawet oddzielać atrakcyjności formuły tytułowej od wielorakich łączących nas więzów. Mamy też nadzieję, że ten krąg współpracowników nie będzie malał, tym bardziej że nie wszystkie ogniwa wskazanego tu szeregu zostały wypełnione z jednakową pie­ czołowitością. Adresujemy ten tom głównie do odbiorców (badaczy, doktoran­ tów i studentów) zainteresowanych literaturą wieku XIX, zwłaszcza zaś problemami romantycznymi - tym zagadnieniom poświęcono 8 spośród 13 tekstów; w drugim rzędzie do studiujących kwestie wcze­ śniejsze - oświeceniowe (dwa początkowe teksty) i późniejsze (trzy końcowe), dotyczące recepcji romantyzmu w literaturze i dydaktyce poromantycznej. Brak monograficznego ujęcia problemowego wyna­ gradzamy Czytelnikom znaczną rozmaitością autorskich upodobań 1 Takim „mieszanym” przedsięwzięciem, monograficznym i pokonferencyjnym, był poprzedni tom Zakładu: „Pieśni ogromnych dwanaście...”.

Przekonani o wyższości pluralizmu metodologicznego nad wszel­ kiego rodzaju apriorycznymi ustaleniami narzucającymi sposoby od- czyt}'wania tekstów przed ich przeczytaniem, dajemy pod rozwagę tych kilka myśli, z których przynajmniej część wydaje nam się nowa i zasługująca na uwagę Czytelników. Katowice, listopad 2003 R edaktorzy Agnieszka Kwiatkowska „Rozumne zawody” Polemiki polskiego oświecenia Kultura polskiego oświecenia, pełna wewnętrznych napięć i skła­ dająca się z wielu opozycji, sprzyjała licznym polemikom. Rozmaitym sporom często towarzyszyła atmosfera sensacji, skandalu i prywat­ nych rozgrywek. Rzeczowe argumenty dyskutantów były wzmacnia­ ne albo wręcz wypierane aluzjami personalnymi, które — dzięki to­ warzyskiej plotce - były zrozumiałe dla wąskiego kręgu odbiorców. Dyskusje, które toczą się na łamach rękopiśmiennych lub drukowa­ nych rozpraw, artykułów dziennikarskich i innych tekstów, charak­ teryzują się wyraźnym wzajemnym korespondowaniem poszczególnych tekstów, które łączy nie tylko przed­ miot rozważań, lecz także ujawniona w mniejszym lub większym stop­ niu świadomość argumentów zawartych w innych tekstach, odwołanie do nich przez sposoby dowodzenia lub konwencję wypowiedzi.1 Za pierwszą polską polemikę literacką zwykło się uważać spór o Podolankę wychowaną w stanie natury2. Podobne zespoły tekstów, poruszających problemy związane z literaturą i powiązanych z pol­ ską kulturą powstawały jednak znacznie wcześniej. Jednym z nich jest, 1 A.K. Guzek: Polemiki literackie.

Problemy przedstawione w artykule szerzej poruszam w książce Piórowe wojny (Poznań 2001). 2 M.D. Krajewski: Podolanka wychowana w stanie natury, życie i przypadki swo­ je opisująca. Warszawa 1784. prowadzony co prawda po francusku, lecz przecież związany z polską kulturą spór o russoizm:i. Dyskusję rozpętała publikacja Jana Jaku­ ba Rousseau Discours sur les sciences et les arts wydana w 1750 roku4. Głos przeciw rozprawie nagrodzonej przez Akademię w Dijon zabrał między innymi Stanisław Leszczyński w Responce au discours de Mr Rousseau, opublikowanej w Mercure de France w 1751 roku5, nieco później wydanej w formie broszury. Wystąpienie Leszczyńskiego zo­ stało ogłoszone anonimowo, ale dla współczesnych kwestia autorstwa była oczywista. Mimo to Rousseau, podejmując polemikę, czuł się zo­ bowiązany do uszanowania anonimowości swego oponenta. Dzieło zna­ ne jako Odpowiedź JJR królowi polskiemu ukazało się pod tytułem Uwagi Jana Jakuba Rousseau o odpowiedzi, której wywołała jego roz­ prawa^. W Polsce spór o russoizm przebiegał o wiele łagodniej niż w Europie Zachodniej. Sytuacja polskiej kultury i nauki nie pozwala­ ła podważać przydatności nauk, a społeczeństwo - w większości ka­ tolickie - niechętnie obserwowało wyrastającą z pism Jana Jakuba Rousseau wizję Boga. Większość polskojęzycznych wystąpień podję­ ła więc dialog z russoizmem, z rzadka tylko biorąc go w obronę. Spory z francuskim filozofem toczyły się głównie na łamach „Monitora” (na przykład 19 sierpnia 1772) oraz „Zabaw Przyjemnych i Pożytecznych”7. 3 Obcojęzyczne polemiki pojawiały się w polskiej kulturze już wcześniej. Odnoto­ wać trzeba na przykład polemikę wywołaną przez wydane w 1753 roku dzieło K. S t ę - plowskiego: Logica incipientium régulas definiendi. Kraków 1753; A. J. Wiśniew­ ski: Carpophorus Philalethes ad auctorem apologiae pro arte dispatandi peripatetico- rum. Werona 1754 (Elbląg 1755). Przedrukował W. Mincer w: „Studia i Materiały z Dziejów Nauki Polskiej” (1956, T. 4, s. 338-344). Przekład polski: Z. Neumanów a: Karpoforus Filalełes do autora apologii sztuki dowodzenia sposobem perypatetycznym. W: „Studia i Materiały z Dziejów Nauki Polskiej” 1956, T. 4, s. 328-338. Do wielu obco­ języcznych polemik związanych z polską kulturą zaliczyć też należy spór wokół dzieła Ubalda Mignoniego, przeciw któremu wystąpił między innymi Franciszek Bohomolec, publikując w 1752 roku Ubaldo Mignonio Schol.

  • Chopin: Visual Contexts
    Interdisciplinary Studies in Musicology g, 2011 © Department of Musicology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland JACEK SZERSZENOWICZ (Łódź) Chopin: Visual Contexts ABSTRACT: The drawings, portraits and effigies of Chopin that were produced during his lifetime later became the basis for artists’ fantasies on the subject of his work. Just after the composer’s death, Teofil Kwiatkowski began to paint Bal w Hotel Lambert w Paryżu [Ball at the Hotel Lambert in Paris], symbolising the unfulfilled hopes of the Polish Great Emi­ gration that Chopin would join the mission to raise the spirit of the nation. Henryk Siemiradzki recalled the young musician’s visit to the Radziwiłł Palace in Poznań. The composer’s likeness appeared in symbolic representations of a psychological, ethnological and historical character. Traditional roots are referred to in the paintings of Feliks Wygrzywalski, Mazurek - grający Chopin [Mazurka - Chopin at the piano], with a couple of dancers in folk costume, and Stanisław Zawadzki, depicting the com­ poser with a roll of paper in his hand against the background of a forest, into the wall of which silhouettes of country children are merged, personifying folk music. Pictorial tales about music were also popularised by postcards. On one anonymous postcard, a ghost hovers over the playing musician, and the title Marsz żałobny Szopena [Chopin’s funeral march] suggests the connection with real apparitions that the composer occasional had when performing that work. In the visualisation of music, artists were often assisted by poets, who suggested associations and symbols. Correlations of content and style can be discerned, for ex­ ample, between Władysław Podkowinski’s painting Marsz żałobny Szopena and Kor­ nel Ujejski’s earlier poem Marsz pogrzebowy [Funeral march].

  • Making and Defending a Polish Town: “Lwуw” (Lemberg), 1848-1914
    Making and Defending a Polish Town: "Lwow" (Lemberg), 1848-1914 HARALD BINDER ANY EAST CENTRAL EUROPEAN towns and cities bear several names, reflecting the ethnic and religious diversity once characteristic of M the region. The town chosen in 1772 by the Habsburgs as capital of their newly acquired province of Galicia serves as an example. In the second half of the nineteenth century Ruthenian national populists referred to the city as "L'viv"; Russophiles designated the city "L'vov." For Poles and Polo- nized Jews the town was "Lwow," and for Germans as well as German- and Yiddish-speaking Jews the city was "Lemberg." The ethnic and linguistic reality was, in fact, much less clear than these divisions would suggest. For much of the period of Habsburg rule, language barriers remained permeable. The city's inhabitants were multilingual, often employing different languages depending on the type of communication in which they were engaged. By the late nineteenth century, however, nationalists came to regard language as one of the most important objective characteristics defining their respective national communities. For example, Ruthenian intellectuals felt more com- fortable communicating in Polish, but, when acting as politicians, they spoke and wrote in one of the varieties of "Ruthenian." The many names for the Galician capital can also be related to specific periods in the history of the city. From this perspective, moving from one name to another mirrors shifting power relations and cultural orientation. The seventeenth century historian Bartlomiej .Zimorowicz chose such a chronological structure for his "History of the City of Lwow." He traced the fate of the town as it changed from a "Ruthenian" (from 1270) to a "German" (from 1350) to a "Polish" city (from 1550).1 Zimorowicz's method of dividing Center for Austrian Studies Austrian History Yearbook 34 (2003): 57-81.

  • Slowacki's Chopin
    Interdisciplinary Studies in Musicology 9, 2011 © Department of Musicology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, Poland AGATA SEWERYN (Lublin) Slowacki’s Chopin ABSTRACT: Supposed analogies between Fryderyk Chopin and Juliusz Słowacki form a recurring thread that runs through the subject literature of Romantic culture. Legions of literati, critics, literary scholars and musicologists have either attempted to find affinities between Chopin and Słowacki (on the level of both biography and creative output) or else have energetically demonstrated the groundlessness of all analogies, opinions and assumptions. ConseQuently, stereotypes have been formed and then strengthened concerning the relations between the two creative artists, particularly the conviction of Slowacki’s dislike of Chopin and his music, which - in the opinion of many scholars - the poet simply did not understand. Considerations of this kind most often centre on a famous letter written by Słowacki to his mother in February 1845. However, a careful reading of this letter and its comparison with Slowacki’s other utterances on the subject of Chopin shows that opinions of the poet’s alleged insanity, petty-mindedness or lack of subtlety in his contacts with Chopin’s music are most unjust. The analysed letter is not so much anti-Chopin as anti-Romantic. It inscribes itself perfectly in the context of the thinking of “the Słowacki of the last years”, since the poet negates crucial aesthetic features of Romantic music, but at the same time criticises his own works: W Szwajcarii [In Switzerland] and, in other letters, Godzina myśli [An hour of thought] and the “picture of the age”, the poetical novel Lambro.

  • On Collective Forms of the Chopin Cult in Poland During the Nineteenth Century
    Interdisciplinary Studies in Musicology 9, 2011 © Department of Musicology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland MAGDALENA DZIADEK (Poznań) On collective forms of the Chopin cult in Poland during the nineteenth century ABSTRACT: This article is devoted to specific forms of the Chopin cult that developed in Poland during the nineteenth century. Due to the socio-political situation in the country during the period of the Partitions and the influence of tradition, this cult was manifest first and foremost in the joint experiencing of anniversaries connected with the composer on the part of members of local communities or the entire nation. The basic medium of that experience was the press, in which biographic articles, sketches on his music and also poetical works devoted to the composer were an obligatory part of the anniversaries of Chopin’s birth and death. In this way, the Chopin cult in Poland became primarily a literary phenomenon. Also linked to the traditional culture of the letter that was Polish culture of the nineteenth century is the characteristic form of the Chopin cult known as the obchód. The communal character of the obchód was re- flected in its specific form and content. One of the prime concerns was the need to forcibly communicate the fact that Chopin’s music was a national good. Thus at the centre of the theatrically-managed obchód stood an orator or actor declaiming against the background of Chopin’s music. For the purposes of these declamations, a huge amount of literature was produced, examples of which are discussed in the article. Another characteristic “anniversary” product were re-workings of Chopin composi- tions for large orchestral and choral forces, treated as “ceremonial”.

  • LANDSCAPE ORGANIZATION of MONUMENTAL SCULPTURE in the CREATIVE WORK of ARNOLD RÖHRING (Squares, Streets and Parks of the City)
    Posatskyy Bohdan, Mykhailo Hrytsak LANDSCAPE ORGANIZATION OF MONUMENTAL SCULPTURE IN THE CREATIVE WORK OF ARNOLD RÖHRING (squares, streets and parks of the city) Lviv Polytechnic National University 12, Bandery str., 79013 Lviv, Ukraine, [email protected] Received: December 05,2016 / Revised: / Accepted: © Posatskyy B., Hrytsak M., 2016 Abstract. The article deals with the landscape arrangement of monumental sculptures in the creative work of Arnold Rӧhring. The text reviews the role and the importance of landscape arrangement of monumental sculptures in the architectural composition of the city of Lviv. Examples of works of monumental sculpture of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries are described in the article. Keywords: monumental sculpture, Arnold Rӧhring, landscape organization, city parks. 1. Introduction The city center of Lviv is characterized by richness and diversity of natural, urban and architectural forms, which, together, form a unique historical landscape-architectural complex. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the city center developed rapidly by building up, mainly, the southern sector of the city. After construction of an underground reservoir for the Poltva river, a new central cell began to be formed. Construction of a considerable number of residential and public buildings led, among others, to erection of the building of the Diet of Galicia and Lodomeria. According to the principles of urban contemporary European development, the planning of planted boulevards and city parks was initiated. On the boulevards, squares and parks there were located monumental sculptures, mostly the memorials of famous public figures, writers and poets. The tradition of combination of sculptures and objects of the landscape in Europe goes back to Ancient Rome.

  • Romantic Poetry 1 Romantic Poetry
    Romantic poetry 1 Romantic poetry Romanticism, a philosophical, literary, artistic and cultural era[1] which began in the mid/late-18th century[2] as a reaction against the prevailing Enlightenment ideals of the day (Romantics favored more natural, emotional and personal artistic themes),[3][4] also influenced poetry. Inevitably, the characterization of a broad range of contemporaneous poets and poetry under the single unifying name can be viewed more as an exercise in historical The Funeral of Shelley by Louis Edouard Fournier (1889); the group members, from left compartmentalization than an attempt to right, are Trelawny, Hunt and Byron to capture the essence of the actual ‘movement’.[citation needed] Poets such as William Wordsworth were actively engaged in trying to create a new kind of poetry that emphasized intuition over reason and the pastoral over the urban, often eschewing consciously poetic language in an effort to use more colloquial language. Wordsworth himself in the Preface to his and Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads defined good poetry as “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings,” though in the same sentence he goes on to clarify this statement by In Western cultural context romanticism substantially contibuted to the idea asserting that nonetheless any poem of of "how a real poet should look like". An idealized statue of a Czech poet value must still be composed by a man Karel Hynek Mácha (in Petřín Park, Prague) repesents him as a slim, tender “possessed of more than usual organic and perhaps unhealthy boy. However, anthropological examination proved sensibility [who has] also thought long that he was a man of a strong, robust and muscular body constitution.

    Czytanie Literatury https://doi.org/10.18778/2299-7458.09.05 Łódzkie Studia Literaturoznawcze 9/2020 ISSN 2299–7458 MARIA BeRKAN-JABŁoŃSKA e-ISSN 2449–8386 University of Lodz 0000-0002-7137-6094 101 ON SEVERALON POLISH POEMS… On Several Polish Poems From 1829–1870 with Venice in the Background SUMMARY The subject of the article is a review of images of Venice recorded in Polish poetry between the years 1829–1870. The paper deliberately stops in the 1870s in the selec- tion of the literary material to be analysed, focusing on the Romantic and post-Ro- mantic tradition. Due to the different artistic value of the works, the author adopted the formula of a historical and literary “catalogue” ordered chronologically and partly problematicised according to the functions which Venetian scenery or cul- ture perform in them. Attention is drawn to the fact that Venetian motifs present in the poetry of Polish artists tend to be related to particular phenomena and topics, such as Byronism, Gothicism, political and national camouflage, love and existen- tial masks, conflict between people and power. The authors referred to in the pa- per include, among others, Adam Mickiewicz, Józef Ignacy Kraszewski, Zygmunt Krasiński, Edward Dembowski, Edmund Chojecki, Karol Baliński, Mieczysław Gwalbert Pawlikowski, Teofil Lenartowicz, Feliks Wicherski,Teofil Nowosielski, Aleksander Michaux and Wiktor Gomulicki.

  • Chopin - Grottger
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Interdisciplinary Studies in Musicology Interdisciplinary Studies in Musicology 9,2011 © Department of Musicology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland IRENA PONIATOWSKA (Warszawa) Chopin - Grottger To Professor Juliusz Chróścicki, with friendship1 ABSTRACT: Is Stanisław Tarnowski’s linking of Fryderyk Chopin and Artur Grottger in his Dwa szkice [Two sketches] justified? Well, the connection is substantiated by the “Romantic-leaning” point of view and the idea of the correspondance des arts that characterised the nineteenth century in which the two creative artists (and Tarnowski himself) lived, although they represented different creative fields. Both the musician Chopin and the artist Grottger were regarded as poets. The former on account of the poetic of his piano playing and musical works, the latter for the poetical dimension of his pictures devoted to the January Rising. Tarnowski called Chopin the fourth bard of Poland, alongside Adam Mickiewicz, Juliusz Słowacki and Zygmunt Krasiński, and Grottger the poet of the Rising, since - as he paradoxically stated - the poetical narra­ tor of those events could only be an artist. Terminology of a literary character be­ longed to the lexicon of notions employed by critics of art and music at that time. Besides this, the national character is inscribed in the idiom of the work of both these creative artists - the thoroughly patriotic stance that was so strongly manifest in the output of Polish romanticism. Another common denominator in their work is the concept of the cycle. With Chopin, the 24 Preludes, Op. 28 comprise a cycle in which the bonding element is the succession of major keys and their relative minor keys according to the circle of fifths, but they are also an expressive cycle of various states of mind, from despair to joyous reverie.

    Katarzyna Zechenter UCL: The Need to Suffer: The Case of Poland. The article explores the construction and various representations of Polish collective suffering and victimhood in Polish literature. It argues that the loss of independence (1795-1918) and the subsequent struggles to regain it can be read as Poland’s most important cultural trauma that heavily marked Polish identity. It discusses how the paradigm was created and established, and the unsuccessful struggle with the paradigm of suffering over the subsequent years. Overall, it argues that literature after 1945 lost its power over the national imagination as Polish identity is no longer bound by the past representations of suffering. All humans and all nations suffer and remember their suffering yet the process of remembering, articulating and manufacturing that suffering is neither clear nor obvious. The remembrance of suffering influences nations and individuals: it has the power to build new people or unite a country.1 Some nations accept their suffering with ‘a thirst for self-destruction” or even welcome their suffering.2 Yet, as Steven J. Mock argues, “commemorations and narratives of national defeat display wide variation” as the understanding of the role of collective suffering, the interaction of suffering of different peoples upon each other, as well the understanding of various narratives about suffering and the role of suffering in the construction of identity differ among nations, religions and individuals.3 This article argues that the collective suffering inflicted by other states can be read as a ‘cultural trauma’ that leaves ‘indelible marks upon group consciousness’4 and thus permeates the construction of nations’ identities.
