Summary/Abstract: The articles in this collection deal with the reception of Mickiewicz as a poetical, political and ideological mentor. They present him from different angles: as the author of Philomath papers, journalistic pieces, speeches and political and social manifestos, a poet and religious reformer, the co-author and participant of various spiritual projects, the initiator of spiritual renewal in the emigrant community, the originator of the first Polish religious order, as well as the co-founder of the first Polish religious sect and an authority for the future generations of the followers of his ideas and work.

- Summary/Abstract:The article renders Mickiewicz’s master’s discourse, its development from The Philomaths’ period up until Mickiewicz’s active participation in the Circle of God’s Cause established by Towianski. The paper also takes into consideration Mickiewicz’s own relations with masters as well as his attempts to become one. These issues are being examined in the context of Mickiewicz’s personality inclinations as well as in terms of a historical and ideological context which involves the process of constituting modernity and Mickiewicz’s resistance towards it.

- Keywords:Adam Mickiewicz; discourse; spoken word; private sphere; public sphere; paideia
- Summary/Abstract:The subject matter of this article are Adam Mickiewicz’s utterances preserved in a number of diverse writings such as diaries, journals, letters, or private notes collected by other authors all of which were published in 1933 by Stanisław Pigoń in the 16th volume of the collection of Mickiewicz’s literary works special Polish Parliament edition and in Adama Mickiewicza wspomnienia i myśli [Adam Mickiewicz’s Reminiscence and Thoughts] (1958, S. Pigoń). The above readings aim to provide an answer to a question of how Mickiewicz dealt with a spoken word in the act of everyday conversation, how he behaved in the course of a language interaction and how he interpreted it in the next phases of his life. A detailed analysis of the account of Mickiewicz’s exchanges leads to a conclusion that what makes Mickiewicz’s utterances unique is their paideic purpose as in the course of a spoken interaction the author shapes attitudes, beliefs and values and at the same time aims at a comprehensive formation of his interlocutors. Treating Mickiewicz’s conversations as a method of a teaching process based on interaction, makes it possible to correlate it with the tradition of wisdom, especially in terms of one of its manifestations in particular – conversations with a master.

- Summary/Abstract:The study attempts to re-examine Adam Mickiewicz’s attitude towards The Philomaths as well as the phenomenon of Philomathism on the basis of some papers such as welcome speeches, statements, proceedings, decrees or reports documenting his formal activity as the head of The Department I of The Philomath Society. The author of this article poses a question on the necessity to reconsider so called philomathic parallel articulated by Wacław Kubacki and finally concludes that the period of the philomathic activity of the author of Oda do młodości [Ode to Youth] does not easily translate into the character of his spiritual leadership the poet had implemented in the later period of his mature life.

- No. of Pages:9
- Keywords:Adam Mickiewicz; Polish national “bard”; sonnets; literary salon
- Summary/Abstract:The article deals with the concept of Polish national “bardism” (wieszczostwo) Mickiewicz stands for. These days, it is customarily accepted that the name of the author of Ballady i romanse (1822) [Ballads and Romances] is associated with the term – a ‘Polish national “bard”’ (wieszcz). Even today, no matter what types of texts are taken into consideration, whether historical and literary or any other ones, the authors will immediately apply the term as the obvious synonym describing the remarkable Polish Romantic poet – Adam Mickiewicz. The author of this article underlines the fact that this particular practice establishes a clearly defined picture of Mickiewicz’s literary output. Furthermore, the author points out that emphasising the concept of a ‘national “bard”’, which adds extra value to literary work that is already exceptional and deeply rooted in collective consciousness, results in peripheral role of some fields of poetry which do not comply with the poetry model of national “bards”. On the basis of the two cycles of sonnets the author of this paper highlights the dual character of Mickiewicz’s poetry that is constantly orbiting around the literature of social and national nature and that of a literary salon – lighthearted and private.

- Keywords:space in literature; geopoetics; Romantic concept of nature; utopia in literature; Romantic irony; Romantic epic; historiosophy and eschatology in Romantic literature
- Summary/Abstract:The authors analyse the style, poetic syntax and ideological issues of the Ustęp Droga do Rosji [The Passage Journey to Russia] in Dziady część III [Forefathers’ Eve, part III] and the part of Book IV of Pan Tadeusz – Matecznik [The Backwood]. The authors consider these two descriptive fragments as ‘lessons on nature’ in verse form. The term a ‘lesson on nature’ is intended to emphasise Mickiewicz’s inclinations to merge and confront a number of various themes and threads such as nature, politics, history, existence and theology with his own creations of artistic and personal nature such as being a poet, a sage, a traveller, an expert on history or an admirer of folk people and their traditions, stories and legends. The construction and space creation, where the movement inwards is easily identified, are the two elements that play a vital role in both fragments. Each text deals with the movement in a different poetic manner and what is more, it assumes a unique significance in each instance. The goal Mickiewicz achieves in both fragments is utopia, yet each time it is implemented differently. In Droga do Rosji [Journey to Russia] it is rendered as a dehumanized space of tsarist Russia whereas the utopia of Matecznik [The Backwood] manifests itself in the absence of aggression, in the local people’s wisdom of life, and in a humble attitude towards the mystery of nature. In the final part of the essay the authors point out that Mickiewicz’s poetic definitions of nature, which emerge from both texts, are nothing but a manifestation of Romantic irony.

- Page Range:96-109
- No. of Pages:14
- Keywords:God; human being; dialectics; philosophy; language; Adam Mickiewicz; revelation; Slavdom
- Summary/Abstract:In the 18th century two main theories on language perception emerged which Johann Gottfried Herder juxtaposed with each other in his Treaties on the Origin of Language (1772), rendering them as contrary. The first theory assumed that language had been God – sent and granted to the mankind in the very act of creation. The other theory believed that language was an invention of a human being as he possessed this natural inclination to explore and describe the surrounding world in terms of reflexive and conceptual categories. Both suppositions on language origins had their followers among philosophers, linguists and poets as well. Herder was the advocate of the latter one which suggested that the origins of language lay in human beings’ inventive nature and thereby he withstood Condillac, Süssmilch and Hamann’s way of thinking who favoured the conviction that language had come into being due to divine interference. Mickiewicz referred to this dispute in his lectures on Slavic literature (Slavic Literature, Course I, lecture 7), shedding light on these two schools of thought which dominated the 18th and the first half of the 19th century philosophy of language. As opposed to Herder, Mickiewicz did not submit to any of the two theories because he recognised the early Slavic language in terms of dialectics as a product within which mystical and sensible, ideal and real, divine and humane elements confronted. As a consequence, Mickiewicz could discern traces of both theories in the Slavic language – the one that advocated divine revelation of language as well as the one which supported the idea that language derived from human beings.

- No. of Pages:18
- Keywords:Adam Mickiewicz; Parisian lectures; national languages; translation; Bible; Holy Scripture
- Summary/Abstract:The author of the study debates on the importance of the 16th and 18th century Bible translations into national languages from Adam Mickiewicz’s perspective, which was widely reflected in his lectures he had been giving for four year as a professor at College de France in Paris. Mickiewicz took this phenomenon with a great dose of reserve as he examined it in the context of two Renaissance movements: Reformation and humanism regarded as ambiguous. These two movements equipped a human being with both independence as well as arbitrariness which influenced the act of interpretation. According to Mickiewicz, the revival of the Church authority resulted in religious, civilization and political divides in Europe. The religious divide had deeply affected the Slavs in particular as they had already been divided into the followers of the Orthodox Church, Catholic Church and Protestantism. Mickiewicz acknowledged Psałterz Dawidów [David’s Psalter] by Jan Kochanowski as artistically most valuable translation which incorporated the three elements: the nature of the 16th century, poetic genius and piousness.

- Keywords:Literatura słowiańska; Pierwsze wieki historii polskiej; literature towards historiography; symbolism; mythical Roman history
- Summary/Abstract:The dissertation, which constitutes a fragment of a broader study in preparation, reverses the traditional perspective applied in research on Mickiewicz’s Paris lectures by means of analysing the influence of Mickiewicz’s Slavocentrism on certain aspects of the picture of the pre-Christian barbaricum, which he formulated in Course I of Literatura słowiańska [Slavonic Literature] and in Pierwsze wieki historii polskiej [First Centuries of Polish History]. One of the premises of the assumed approach is to challenge the precipitant idea to equate historiography with literature on the basis of their shared constituent part that is literariness. In fact, research on historiography is based on different methodological foundations and provides different cognitive benefits, for instance, traditionally present in historiography loci communes distort the image of communities that functioned outside the Latin circle, and subsequently outside the Latin-Christian ecumene, yet they do not entirely invalidate the value of the source of information. The dissertation brings forth the fundamental inconsistencies of Mickiewicz’s lecture on nomadic peoples, the Mongols in particular, who are taken advantage of by Mickiewicz to sort out the debate on the heritage of the Enlightenment. On the other hand, the dissertation points at Mickiewicz’s potential, yet underestimated, comparative predispositions, which he exposed in a reference to the role of Numa, the successor of Romulus, in the history of Rome.

- Keywords:improvisation; theological dualism; Slavdom; Black God; transformation
- Summary/Abstract:The article discusses Mickiewicz’s understanding of what improvisation is – not only a display of rhetorical dexterity but also a speech inspired by God. The article presents a poet who was a personification of a Slavic improviser who, struck by an inspiration, spoke in a Slavic manner of a historic discord deep inside the Slavdom. The author of this article points out that Mickiewicz, composing his improvisations, embodied a mental Slav as he submitted to religious dualism which was based on a belief that promoted equality between the autogenous, perennial and independent principles of Good and Evil and what is more, proclaimed the reign of an evil Tsar-like God or the Slavic peoples’ Black God over the world or Russia.

- Keywords:Adam Mickiewicz; inner cognition; hermeneutics; philosophy of action
- Summary/Abstract:The essence of the knowledge Mickiewicz projects is the inner experience presented from a hermeneutical perspective that is as a process of welding the sphere of inner experience with the outside reality as a whole. This particular approach to knowledge makes it a harmonious unity that results from the potential of the spirit which pervades spiritual as well as physical matters, blending at the same time the cognition of the spiritual and material world, and so merging two academic disciplines: humanities and science. The knowledge Mickiewicz craves for proves in action. According to him, anything that can be put in practice is true, hence Mickiewicz's concept of poetry steadily transforms into philosophy of action.

- Keywords:Adam Mickiewicz; Romanticism; politics and history; mysticism; Revolutions of 1848
- Summary/Abstract:The author of the article argues the thesis, which has been widely accepted in the research tradition, on mystical irrationality of Mickiewicz’s actions in the area of politics. Analysing the matter from this point of view, the author investigates Mickiewicz’s activity in the period of the Revolutions of 1848, trying to reconstruct poet’s concepts in terms of strategy and here and now tactics. The author of the study proves that the idealism and religion factors, visible in Mickiewicz’s political reasoning and actions, were at the same time well balanced by other equally important ideas and assumptions which Mickiewicz regarded as rational and which took into account the reality and mechanisms that governed the world of politics.

The reason for writing the booklet were disgraceful disputes that divided the participants of the November Insurrection in exile. According to some scholars, one can see the similarity between Mickiewicz’s Księgi narodu polskiego i pielgrzymstwa polskiego [Books of the Polish Nation and Its Pilgrimage] and Novalis’s essay Christendom or Europe.

- Keywords:Polish Romanticism; Adam Mickiewicz; reason; madness
- Summary/Abstract:Adam Mickiewicz wrote an article O ludziach rozsądnych i ludziach szalonych [On Men of Reason and Madmen] in May 1833. It was published in the emigration journal Pielgrzym Polski [The Polish Pilgrim]. In the article, he distinguished two different groups of people: men of reason, who were inclined for compromise and used the language of treason, and “madmen”, who were devoted patriots – that is to say, ‘mad patriots’. Perhaps patriotism is a kind of madness. At the same time Mickiewicz worked on Pan Tadeusz, the national epic poem which was first published in June 1834. In my opinion there is no contradiction between a realistic, ‘reasonable’ poem and a prophetic journalism included in Pielgrzym Polski [The Polish Pilgrim]. From a patriot’s standpoint it is impossible to be reasonable.

- Keywords:history; historiography; culture; 19th century; literature; Slavs
- Summary/Abstract:The purpose of the article is to take a closer look at Mickiewicz’s portrait of a professor and a lecturer. Its aim is also to emphasise his exceptional abilities to bond and relate with his students at the University of Lausanne and Collège de France. Also, the paper highlights Mickiewicz’s power of authority that resulted from his considerable knowledge, genuine enthusiasm for the subject he discussed and his passionate role of a committed pedagogue and a formation teacher of the Polish people, which he both regarded as a mission. The thesis statement postulated in the article assumes that Course I of Mickiewicz’s lectures on Slavonic literature proves that the author of Pan Tadeusz had gone through a thorough historiographic analysis of extensive research on the history of Slavonic cultures what makes this part of the lectures a valid and valuable reading.

- Page Range:241-254
- No. of Pages:14
- Keywords:spirituality; ethics; ideology; immanence; curse; cross; messianism; nation; modernity; labour; Romanticism; solidarity; utopia
- Summary/Abstract:The presentation highlights Mickiewicz’s never-fading yet suppurating metaphor of the cross from the Vision of Father Peter. By means of the portrait of a crucified Poland Mickiewicz triggers messianism which is sometimes understood as an eschatological hope for political liberation, a Christian mission to transfigure the world in a Promethean manner, acting in accordance with the Gospel, or as a curse of Catholic nationalism (‘Smolensk religion’). The metaphor, brought into existence in the period when a common denominator between politics and religion was in hot pursuit, can today be interpreted as a utopia that activates society or as an ideology of alliance between throne and altar. One of the crossreferences to this way of thinking is a recently published book by Paweł Rojek on Polish messianism popularised by John Paul II – the Pope who referred to Norwid’s idea of ‘messianic labour’. Norwid’s influence on the Pope reached its climax in the period of early Solidarity movement and the publication of Etyka Solidarności [The Ethics of Solidarity] by Józef Tischner (1981). However, Rojek’s approach poses a significant theoretical difficulty, yet inspiring one, which reflects in the fact that the author treats a nation as a collective individual (‘theology of nation’) as well as in the attitude of ‘messianism’ to modernity. On the whole, the metaphor of a cross and the messianic legend constituted or better still boosted the best and the worst attributes of Polish Romanticism – the ideal of spiritual development and solidarity on one hand and Catholic nationalism and national egoism on the other.

- No. of Pages:11
- Keywords:Cyprian Norwid; juvenilia; Zwolon; poems written in 1856; Vade-mecum; The Adam Mickiewicz; death and funeral of the poet; Harold Bloom; Anxiety of Influence
- Summary/Abstract:The regard Norwid paid to Mickiewicz has long been the subject of academic research but it generally focused on the ideological differences the two poets represented rather than on poetological aspects of their literary work. The subject matter of this article draws attention to the latter. On the basis of Harold Bloom’s methodological inspiration [The Anxiety of Influence] the author of this study demonstrates how Norwid’s poetic perception of Mickiewicz – the pioneer and master model – alters. Also, in Norwid’s juvenilia she identifies the discord of melancholic imagination advocated by Malczewski and optimistic axiology advocated by Mickiewicz. This lack of consistency gradually led to Norwid’s growing reserve to Mickiewicz [Zwolon]. But not until the publishing of poems composed in 1856, which were produced soon after the older fellow poet’s funeral in Paris, did Norwid establish his mature and comprehensive statement on the poetry of the Master and the arguments proving this thesis can later be found in the collection of his poems Vade-mecum.

- Summary/Abstract:The following article analyses literary strategies applied by Antoni Edward Odyniec in his Listy z podróży [Letters from a Journey] and Wspomnienia z przeszłości [Recollections from the Past] in reference to Adam Mickiewicz. The author takes a closer look at the tricks Odyniec delivered in his poetry in order to establish a remarkable friendship with Mickiewicz, referring to the poem Mój płaszcz [My Coat] included in Wspomnienia z przeszłości [Recollections from the Past]. The aim of this analysis is to unveil Odyniec’s literary mystification he committed by giving the early 1830s as the time of writing the poem. The author of this article explains why Odyniec camouflaged traces of his literary mystifications and shows that for a conscientious and perceptive reader they were obviously comprehensible tokes of a literary convention.

The study reconstructs the complexities of the discourse which aims, on one hand, at revealing Mickiewicz’s obscure adolescent activity but on the other, at proving his already well-acknowledged image of a poet. Also, the analysis of literary critical texts points at the sources of difficulties in re-establishing what we already know about this widely recognised and most remarkable Polish poet and at the individual nature of the language which made it easier to tackle Mickiewicz’s cultural phenomenon.

- Summary/Abstract:The article explores the issue of how Przybyszewski – one of the most remarkable representatives of Young Poland movement – responded to Mickiewicz’s literary creation. The artist approached Mickiewcz’s literary work in a very subjective, self-identifying and interventional manner, which gives evidence as to what type of a person Przybyszewski, the author of Dzieci Szatana [Satan’s Children], was. On the basis of how Przybyszewski translated Mickiewicz’s notion of a ‘naked soul’, which he eventually adopted and recognised as one of the primary ideological and aesthetic categories, I intend to present Przybyszewski’s attitude to the legacy of Romanticism.

- Summary/Abstract:The issue of Mickiewicz’s axiology is still an open question. The 21st century perspective makes Vladimir Solovyov’s short statement on Mickiewicz’s ‘personal structure’ extremely accurate. The Russian philosopher speaks of an exceptional power of love which facilitated Mickiewicz to reach steadily higher and higher levels of morality and spirituality. It turns out that Solovyov’s words become clarified if we use categories that were developed on the basis of Max Scheler or Dietrich von Hildebrand’s phenomenology. What is especially vital to grasp the nature of Mickiewicz’s love is, e.g. fidelity, which is present in a number of lyrical texts written by Mickiewicz, and blends with elegiac nature of the poetry in question – its dominant aesthetic feature.
