The Ideas of Klementyna Nee Tańska Hoffmanowa (1798–1845) in the Reflection of Her Students. An Outline

Summary/Abstract: Klementyna Hoffmanowa nee Tańska (1798–1845), worked as a teacher of “Moral Teaching” for five years (1826–1831). She was employed at the Government Institute of Female Education (Institute for Governesses) and the associated Model School for Girls. Her students included Seweryna Duchińska nee Żochowska 1 v Pruszakowa. (1816–1905). Pruszakowa – poet, journalist and translator edited the Rozrywki dla Młodocianego Wieku [Entertainment for the Young Age] magazine, where she published a few dozen page long biography of Hoffmanowa (1856, 1–2). Another student of Tańska was Teodozja Papi nee Gałęzowska (1810–1887). Several years after her death, based on the memories of her mother, Teodozja’s daughter Jadwiga Papi (1843–1906) devoted one of the chapters of her novel Klementyna. Powieść dla dorastających panien osnuta na tle życia Klementyny z Tańskich Hoffmanowej [Klementyna. A Novel for Adolescent Girls Based on the Life of Klementyna Hoffmanowa nee Tańska] (1905). However, a special role was played by the most famous student of Klementyna Tańska, namely, Narcyza Żmichow­ska (1819–1876), author of a controversial essay “Słowo przedwstępne do dzieł dydaktycznych Pani Hoffmanowej” [“Preliminary Commentary to the Work of Teaching of Mrs. Hoffmanowa”] (1876). Opinions and reflections left by students of Klementyna Tańska-Hoffmanowa are varied. They include so-called “ego-documents”, such as bio­graphies (Pruszakowa), but also articles, critical-literary essays (Żmichow­ska) and novels (Papi).
