SOME THOUGHTS ON THE POLISH-LITHUANIAN GRAFFITI WRITING TRADITION Kšištof Tolkačevski Vilnius University, Faculty of Communication, Department of Book Science and Publishing 3 Universiteto St., LT-0513, Vilnius, Lithuania Email: [email protected] Summary. As a form of literacy, graffiti has existed throughout the ages. Many researches on epigraphy show that many examples of graffiti were left in- tact from the period of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. However, the purpose of their appearance was merely disputed in the scientific community. The main aim of this research is to ascertain the motives of the habits of inscribing graffiti among Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealths citizens. This study is a qualitative research that seeks an in-depth understanding of the phenomena of writing graffiti. Basic material for the research was gathered from ego-documents that are focused on the personal lives and experiences of the writers. The research is based on a detailed contextual analysis of several cases (case study method). This article examines several cases and gives some light on how and why graffiti were made. However, for more ample and accurate results, more extensive research must be done. Received: 5/10/2019. Accepted: 10/11/2019 Copyright © 2019 Kšištof Tolkačevski.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-51967-0 - The Historical Novel in Europe, 1650-1950 Richard Maxwell Frontmatter More information THE HISTORICAL NOVEL IN EUROPE, A much older genre than is often thought, the historical novel has played a vital role in the development of the novel overall. It began in seventeenth-century France as a distinctive way of combining his- torical chronologies with fictive narratives. In Romantic Scotland, historical fiction underwent a further transfomation, inspired by both antiquarian scholarship and crisis-oriented journalism. The first comprehensive study of its subject for many years, The Historical Novel in Europe highlights both the French invention and Scottish re-invention of historical fiction, showing how these two events pre- pared the genre’s broad popularity during the nineteenth and twen- tieth centuries. In Europe, as well as in the Americas, the historical novel became as much a way of reading and a set of expectations as a memorable collection of books. The main authors discussed include Madame de Lafayette, the abbé Prévost, Walter Scott, Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo, Gustave Flaubert, and Mark Twain. richard maxwell teaches in the Comparative Literature depart- ment at Yale University.

  • Architectural Theory in Eastern Europe During the Enlightenment
    Architectural theory in Eastern Europe during the Enlightenment Review of: Ignacy Potocki, Remarks on Architecture. The Vitruvian Tradition in Enlightenment Poland, Carolyn C. Guile ed. and transl., University Park, PA: The Pennsylvania State University Press, 2015, 155 p. Basile Baudez Early modern Polish architectural thought is largely absent from standard surveys of Western art and architecture. If Richard Butterwick-Pawlikowski has recently studied the history of the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth1 and if Andrezj Rottermund’s work on neo-classicism has been partly translated2, no general study of eighteenth-century East European or Polish architecture exists in English apart from Stefan Muthesius’ brief account in Art, architecture and Design in Poland, 966- 1990 (Königstein im Taunus: K. R. Langewiesche Nachfolger H. Köster Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1994). Due to a language barrier, limited or restricted access to primary and secondary sources, the situation of East-European studies began to change only in the 1990s and with time, historiography has shifted its concern from the strict research of a East-West borderland as it was defined by Oscar Halecki in 1980 in Borderlands of western civilization: a history of East Central Europe, to the study of multidirectional cultural transfers3. The historic notion of connected centres played an important role in understanding these phenomena, a more useful tool to think the age of Enlightenment than considering the cultural geography of Central Europe only in terms of centres and peripheries4.

However, a number of regions experienced setbacks due to a hardened and increasingly shrewd authoritarian response to these move- ments.
