Abstracts

The text is an analysis of the polish novel of the second half of the nineteenth century in the context of being in force in the Kingdom of Poland selected regulations and codes of behavior. Legal solutions, especially in the field of family law and succession law, based primarily on the "Code Napoleon", as well as established norms, reflected in the recommendations of 'savoir-vivre' guides had a significant influence on the situation of women and the relationships between family members. These realities are often not noticed by the today’s reader and may have a significant impact on the interpretation of the behaviour of the characters in selected novels by Kraszewski ("Szalona"), Rodziewiczówna ("Czahary"), Prus ("The Doll", "The New Woman"), Sienkiewicz ("Children of the Soil") and Zapolska ("Fin–de–siecle’istka").
