  • Poems by Polish Female Poets and the Burning Issueof Religion
    religions Article Poems by Polish Female Poets and the Burning Issue of Religion Dorota Walczak-Delanois Faculté de Lettres, Traduction et Communication, Département de Langues et Lettres, Université Libre de Bruxelles, 1050 Bruxelles, Belgium; [email protected] Abstract: The aim of this paper is to show the presence of religion and the particular evolution of lyrical matrixes connected to religion in the Polish poems of female poets. There is a particular presence of women in the roots of the Polish literary and lyrical traditions. For centuries, the image of a woman with a pen in her hand was one of the most important imponderabilia. Until the 19th century, Polish female poets continued to be rare. Where female poets do appear in the historical record, they are linked to institutions such as monasteries, where female intellectuals were able to find relative liberty and a refuge. Many of the poetic forms they used in the 16th, late 17th, and 18th centuries were typically male in origin and followed established models. In the 19th century, the specific image of the mother as a link to the religious portrait of the Madonna and the Mother of God (the first Polish poem presents Bogurodzica, the Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus) reinforces women’s new presence. From Adam Mickiewicz’s poem Do matki Polki (To Polish Mother), the term “Polish mother” becomes a separate literary, epistemological, and sociological category. Throughout the 20th century (with some exceptions), the impact of Romanticism and its poetical and religious models remained alive, even if they underwent some modifications.

  • Excerpts from a Panel Discussion Held on 13 May 2011 in Kraków During the Second International Miłosz Festival
    Przekładaniec. Between Miłosz and Milosz 25 (2011): 281–296 10.4467/16891864ePC.13.031.1220 EXCERPTS FROM A PANEL DISCUSSION HELD ON 13 MAY 2011 IN KRAKÓW DURING THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL MIŁOSZ FESTIVAL The title of the panel devoted to Czesław Miłosz’s works and their trans- lations in international circulation is meant to allude to the title of Jan Błoński’s book Miłosz jak świat (Miłosz Like the World), and at the same time to The World. A Naïve Poem, one of the most frequently translated works by the Polish Nobel laureate. The discussion featured translators of the poet’s work into different languages, people involved in creating his image; they spoke of his work and the realities of their respective cultures and traditions, and the readers apprehending it from a range of very dif- ferent experiences. They all shared the belief in Miłosz’s importance for the literatures of their countries and for world literature, and an aware- ness of the many diffi culties in translating Miłosz’s works. The discussion, excerpts of which are presented below, was the culminating point of the international translation seminars of the 2nd Czesław Miłosz Literary Festi- val. During the seminars more than twenty individuals from different coun- tries worked for four days with the assistance and guidance of experienced translators of Polish literature and Miłosz scholars. Miłosz like the world; Miłosz and the world; Miłosz in the world; Miłosz as a world poet: this may suffi ce as the briefest summary of the debate chaired by Magda Heydel, a conversation that featured: Anders Bodegård, a Swedish Slavicist, translator of Polish and French literature, for many years a teacher of Swedish at the Jagiellonian Univer- sity and the University of Warsaw.
