Cyprian Norwid and the Idea of Central Europeanism

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to reflect the potential connections between Cyprian Norwid, hisliterature and thoughts on Europe with the elements of the forthcoming conceptsof Central Europeanism. On the one hand, the author of Vade-mecum can delivera sensitized view of Central European multinationalism, especially in his Venetianshort stories like Menego or Lord Singelworth’s Secret and meanwhile (in hispolitical journalism, for example, Recit d’une peintre d’histoire) acts as if he wascapable of efficiently understanding the first general XIX-century idea ofMitteleuropa. On the other hand, Norwid could react to the issues of CentralEuropeanism ambiguously and flamboyantly – among others by expressing theopinions about still primal and incestuous patriotism of Southern Slavs.
