Download or read book The Polish American Encyclopedia written by James S. Pula and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2010-12-22 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At least nine million Americans trace their roots to Poland, and Polish Americans have contributed greatly to American history and society. During the largest period of immigration to the United States, between 1870 and 1920, more Poles came to the United States than any other national group except Italians. Additional large-scale Polish migration occurred in the wake of World War II and during the period of Solidarity's rise to prominence. This encyclopedia features three types of entries: thematic essays, topical entries, and biographical profiles. The essays synthesize existing work to provide interpretations of, and insight into, important aspects of the Polish American experience. The topical entries discuss in detail specific places, events or organizations such as the Polish National Alliance, Polish American Saturday Schools, and the Latimer Massacre, among others. The biographical entries identify Polish Americans who have made significant contributions at the regional or national level either to the history and culture of the United States, or to the development of American Polonia.

Download or read book Being Poland written by Tamara Trojanowska and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 853 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being Poland offers a unique analysis of the cultural developments that took place in Poland after World War One, a period marked by Poland's return to independence. Conceived to address the lack of critical scholarship on Poland's cultural restoration, Being Poland illuminates the continuities, paradoxes, and contradictions of Poland's modern and contemporary cultural practices, and challenges the narrative typically prescribed to Polish literature and film. Reflecting the radical changes, rifts, and restorations that swept through Poland in this period, Polish literature and film reveal a multitude of perspectives. Addressing romantic perceptions of the Polish immigrant, the politics of post-war cinema, poetry, and mass media, Being Poland is a comprehensive reference work written with the intention of exposing an international audience to the explosion of Polish literature and film that emerged in the twentieth century.

Download or read book Contemporary Writers of Poland written by Danuta Blaszak and published by Dorota Silaj Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary Writers Of Poland Approximately 1980-2000 second edition Cover design: Agnieszka Herman Consultant: Dorota Silaj About Polish literature Danuta Blaszak Introduction The anthology, both: the first edition and this edition, contains samples of poems and a few pieces of prose of writers of Poland. I present the writers who published significant things before 2000, who debuted while Russian communism failed and the Poland's borders became open, or much earlier. The first edition was a static picture of Poland. It was a picture taken at the time when the borders of Poland opened. Feedback to the first edition, some comments of historians and critics, greatly impacted the new edition. I added some reviews here, as an example of this feedback. I've been trying to put together the pieces of Polish literature, to find the dynamic picture, reasons, influences, main currents. I've been trying to find a dynamic picture of Polish literature. While I was working on the first edition, I felt many logic paths were broken. The feedback to the first edition allowed me to understand the reasons. The history of Polish literature was highly impacted by communistic manipulation and censure. Some names and facts were not to be mentioned. Some facts were to be mentioned in an intentionally false way. Communism strongly promoted some writers. The procedure of these choices was mysterious. A few good writers got their chance - for example: Wislawa Szymborska. Later - after the borders became open - the picture of Polish literature was highly biased by some new groups that tried to grab aggressively the vacant seats of the Solidarity government. History should be continuous. So it's good to mentionabout the history of Poland right after the ww2. The first independent Polish magazine appeared in 1956 - after Stalin's death. Most great writers of that time, and many years later, were connected with that magazine. It influenced Polish literature as brave, and later - really independent. I am glad that I may add to the Anthology an interview with Leszek Szymanski (known also as Leslie Shyman), the first editor of the first independent newspaper. I'm proud of having in the Anthology an article by Leszek Zulinski about the literature of 1980s. I add also a short article by Brudnicki about sense of humor that is characteristic for Polish literature as the meanings between lines. I add also my article about International Poetry Days in 2007 - the point that the literature of Poland achieved in 2007. Danuta Blaszak

This book was released on 2000-07-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The selected period of Polish literature is undoubtedly focal in the development of modern nationalism in Poland, as it contains the years of struggle for survival under foreign rule. Romantic poetry and its idea of national messianism is at the core of this study (Mickiewicz, Slowacki and Krasinski). It considers the role played by the notion of great, pre-partitioned Poland (it had included Lithuania, Belorus and Ukraine) in the development of the idea of 'Polishness' in the course of the nineteenth century. The role of history, religion, national uprisings and old `Samaritan' culture form other points of interest.

Download or read book A History of Austrian Literature 1918-2000 written by Katrin Maria Kohl and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2006 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New essays examine 20th-c. Austrian literature in relation to history, politics, and popular culture. 20th-century Austrian literature boasts many outstanding writers: Schnitzler, Musil, Rilke, Kraus, Celan, Canetti, Bernhard, Jelinek. These and others feature in broader accounts of German literature, but it is desirable to see how the Austrian literary scene -- and Austrian society itself -- shaped their writing. This volume thus surveys Austrian writers of drama, prose fiction, and lyric poetry; relates them to the distinctive history of modern Austria, a democratic republic that was overtaken by civil war and authoritarian rule, absorbed into Nazi Germany, and re-established as a neutral state; and examines their response to controversial events such as the collusion with Nazism, the Waldheim affair, and the rise of Haider and the extreme right. In addition to confronting controversy in the relations between literature, history, and politics, the volume examines popular culture in line with current trends. Contributors: Judith Beniston, Janet Stewart, Andrew Barker, Murray Hall, Anthony Bushell, Dagmar Lorenz, Juliane Vogel, Jonathan Long, Joseph McVeigh, Allyson Fiddler. Katrin Kohl is Lecturer in German and a Fellow of Jesus College, and Ritchie Robertson is Taylor Professor of German Language and Literature and a Fellow of The Queen's College, both at the University of Oxford.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of Norman Davies's classic study of the history of Poland has been revised and fully updated with two new chapters to bring the story to the end of the twentieth century. The writing of Polish history, like Poland itself, has frequently fallen prey to interested parties. Professor Norman Davies adopts a sceptical stance towards all existing interpretations and attempts to bring a strong dose of common sense to his theme. He presents the most comprehensive survey in English of this frequently maligned and usually misunderstood country.
