Book Synopsis Adam Mickiewicz by : Roman Robert Koropeckyj
Download or read book Adam Mickiewicz written by Roman Robert Koropeckyj and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855), Poland's national poet, was one of the extraordinary personalities of the age. In chronicling the events of his life--his travels, numerous loves, a troubled marriage, years spent as a member of a heterodox religious sect, and friendships with such luminaries of the time as Aleksandr Pushkin, James Fenimore Cooper, George Sand, Giuseppe Mazzini, Margaret Fuller, and Aleksandr Herzen--Roman Koropeckyj draws a portrait of the Polish poet as a quintessential European Romantic. Spanning five decades of one of the most turbulent periods in modern European history, Mickiewicz's life and works at once reflected and articulated the cultural and political upheavals marking post-Napoleonic Europe. After a poetic debut in his native Lithuania that transformed the face of Polish literature, he spent five years of exile in Russia for engaging in Polish "patriotic" activity. Subsequently, his grand tour of Europe was interrupted by his country's 1830 uprising against Russia; his failure to take part in it would haunt him for the rest of his life. For the next twenty years Mickiewicz shared the fate of other Polish émigrés in the West. It was here that he wrote Forefathers' Eve, part 3 (1832) and Pan Tadeusz (1834), arguably the two most influential works of modern Polish literature. His reputation as his country's most prominent poet secured him a position teaching Latin literature at the Academy of Lausanne and then the first chair of Slavic Literature at the Collége de France. In 1848 he organized a Polish legion in Italy and upon his return to Paris founded a radical French-language newspaper. His final days were devoted to forming a Polish legion in Istanbul. This richly illustrated biography--the first scholarly biography of the poet to be published in English since 1911--draws extensively on diaries, memoirs, correspondence, and the poet's literary texts to make sense of a life as sublime as it was tragic. It concludes with a description of the solemn transfer of Mickiewicz's remains in 1890 from Paris to Cracow, where he was interred in the Royal Cathedral alongside Poland's kings and military heroes.

Book Synopsis National Romanticism by : Balázs Trencsényi
Download or read book National Romanticism written by Balázs Trencsényi and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-10 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 67 texts, including hymns, manifestos, articles or extracts from lengthy studies exemplify the relation between Romanticism and the national movements in the cultural space ranging from Poland to the Ottoman Empire. Each text is accompanied by a presentation of the author, and by an analysis of the context in which the respective work was born.The end of the 18th century and first decades of the 19th were in many respects a watershed period in European history. The ideas of the Enlightenment and the dramatic convulsions of the French Revolution had shattered the old bonds and cast doubt upon the established moral and social norms of the old corporate society. In culture a new trend, Romanticism, was successfully asserting itself against Classicism and provided a new key for a growing number of activists to 're-imagine' their national community, reaching beyond the traditional frameworks of identification (such as the 'political nation', regional patriotism, or Christian universalism). The collection focuses on the interplay of Romantic cultural discourses and the shaping of national ideology throughout the 19th century, tracing the patterns of cultural transfer with Western Europe as well as the mimetic competition of national ideologies within the region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adam Mickiewicz: The National Poet of Poland This book does not claim to be a full biography of Adam Mickiewicz. I have merely attempted to give a sketch of the work and character of a man who was not only Poland's most inspired poet and one of the noblest personalities in her history, but whose place is among the greatest idealists of the nineteenth century. I have, therefore, allowed myself a free hand, dwelling at greater length upon the more striking points in his career, and passing over, or else very lightly touching upon, others which seemed to me of less importance or of little interest to the English reader. By some strange turn of fate Mickiewicz, well known in other countries, is almost a stranger in England. His nation's splendid literature suffers from an equally inexplicable and a most regrettable neglect among us. If this book is fortunate enough to awaken in any English heart some interest or sympathy, not merely for the singularly attractive figure of the poet who is my subject, but still more for the sufferings, struggles and ideals Of the great and heroic nation of whom he was the devoted son, my object in writing it will be fulfilled.
