Mary Hutton, czartyzm i echa powstania listopadowego
Mary Hutton, the Chartists and the Echoes of the November Uprising

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the unknown poems on Poland and Polish immigrants who came to England after the Insurrection of 1830’s. The poems were written by the female writer from the British working class, Mary Hutton. Her poetic achievements, only recently discovered by British researchers, show surprisingly significant engagement of the poetess with social and political issues of her times and the pioneering character of her writing in relation to Chartist literature. The analysis includes both the themes of her poems as well as the type of imaging. Particular attention is paid to the use of the “slavery” category, which shows that in Hutton’s interpretation, there is a strict correlation between English workers’ life and the fate of many exiles from Poland – the victims of Russia’s tyranny.
