Polish Daily 1795
Polish Daily 1795 contents of the issue : | * Flight above Warsaw | * Thursday dinners | * Ignacy Krasicki – interview | * Poland's fashion | * Interview with Marcello Baciarelli | * Performacnce in the National Theater | * And much more... It was the memorable Sunday, 10th of May at 13'o clock when the air balloon took off for a flight. It was piloted by Frenchman Jean-Pierre Blanchard, the inventor and pioneer in the balloon industry. The extraordinary event occurred at Foksal garden accompanied by the king Stanisław Poniatowski. The balloon landed in the area of 'podwarszawska Białołęka'. The flight went on for forty nine minutes. Blanchard lifted the craft to an astonishing altitude of two kilometers and covered the distance of seven kilometers. Four days later on the 14th of May 1789 the flight was carried out anew, though this time accompanied by Jan Potocki - a traveler and writer, who brought over his Turkish servant Ibrahim and a white dog along with him. A drawing commemorating Blanchard's flight over Frankfurt Jean-Pierre Blanchard All of them came to an altitude of 2500 meters and after 30 minutes landed in 'Wola'. This event resulted in Jan Potocki becoming the first Pole to fly an aircraft. In order to commemorate the flights the king Stanisław August Poniatowski ordered to forge a medal with the appearance of the French aeronaut embedded into it. This incredible occurrence later became the main inspiration behind the book "Balloon" written by one of the most prominent Polish writers - Adam Naruszewicz.

The first theme has been one I have gravitated towards throughout my History education. I began to seriously consider the subject of the Enlightenment after reading Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Émile while still in high school and found this time of great change, rationality, and education incredibly compelling. The second topic is one near to my heart since it encompasses my heritage. I therefore set out to join the two because, although I had learned about both extensively, I knew little about their synthesis. I first extend my sincerest gratitude to my advisor, Professor Nancy Sinkoff. Beginning this process, I was not sure if I would be able to find anyone who could help me with my topic. -
Lecture 6: from the Enlightenment to Romanticism. Polish Literature Between
- 1 - Lecture 6: From the Enlightenment to Romanticism. Polish Literature between 1750 and the middle of the Nineteenth Century 1. Introduction To understand the evolution of Polish life since 1750 it is crucial to have a good knowledge of Polish literature. For much of this period, Poland was under foreign domination. Literature became the embodiment of the national idea and the way that ideas about how a free Poland should be organized were expressed. The best single account of this issue is to be found in the standard account by the Nobel prize-winning poet, Czesław Miłosz, A History of Polish Literature, London, 1969. What I want to do today is briefly to analyze the literature of the Polish Enlightenment and then to examine how the rationalist ideals of the ‘Age of Reason’ were supplanted in Poland by an extreme version of European romanticism, which, as I explained in my introductory lecture, became the dominant intellectual force shaping the Polish mentality in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Many of the works I discuss are available in English translations. II. The Literature of the Polish Enlightenment There is no space here to give a complete picture of the literature of the Polish Enlightenment, which transformed both the Polish language and the nature of Polish - 2 - literature and without which the events of the period between 1764 and 1795 are incomprehensible. I should like briefly to mention four areas of importance: 1. The theatre 2. Prose writing 3. Poetry 4. Political reformers – the ‘Forge’ (Kuźnica) group 1. The Theatre Theatre was widely used to advance the goals of the Camp of Reform. -

The Polish‐Lithuanian state was growing weaker. It did not pursue an active foreign policy; it was more of an object than a subject on the international stage. The nobility kept blocking the reform project by abusing the liberum veto. All it took to dissolve a Sejm session was one deputy voicing his opposition to a single proposed law. Representatives of the nobility often accepted bribes from foreign powers that wished to render Poland weak.
