Przekłady prozy rosyjskiej w „Tygodniku Wileńskim” (Sierra MorenaNikołaja Karamzina i Trzy siostry, czyli Widmo Minwany Wasi-lija Żukowskiego)
Translations of Russian Prose in “Tygodnik Wileński” (Sierra--Morena by Nikolay Karamzin and Three Sisters or a Phantom of Minvanaby Vasily Zhukovsky)

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents two forgotten Polish translations of Russian prose works: the pre-Romantic story Sierra-Morena by Nikolay Karamzin (“Tygodnik Wileński” 1821, no 13, pp. 8−16) and the moral novel Three sisters, or a Phantom of Minvana by Vasily Zhukovsky (“Tygodnik Wileński” 1822, no 9, pp. 200−206). It contains the polemics with Wiktor and Halina Czernianin, whose research primarily concerned the attribution of the works and their belonging to the literary genre (both the novels or a novel) and movement (sentimentalism or pre-Romanticism). The paper presents the translations of Sierra-Morenaand Three sisters... in the light of: 1. the programme, structure and themes of “Tygodnik Wileński” – sections, Polish and West-European literature, translations of Karamzin’s works and 2. the specificity of translation – comparison of the translations of Sierra-Morenain 1821 and 1839 (“Rozmaitości” 1839, no 18, pp. 137−140).
