In the Lviv theater headed by Jan Nepomucen Kamiński, Friedrich Schiller’s The Robbers was part of a theater campaign of Romanticism; even though it was cautious due to censorship and long-winded, the Lviv entrepreneur produced an important staging not only considering the selection of the play itself, but also in staging choices and especially in acting ones. Kamiński’s 1817 (or earlier) translation determined the shape of the German Sturm und Drang masterpiece for Polish theaters for many years. It also influenced the way later translations were staged. A copy preserved in the Lviv Theater Library in Katowice dates from 1864. Although Kamiński’s translation was based on an abridged and revised German version of the drama, prepared in 1781 for a theater in Mannheim and published there, the analyzed copy also contains references suggesting the use of the canonical edition, known from the original printing of the drama and its subsequent editions authorized by Schiller. This late copy, bearing the traces of numerous interventions, though some were probably obliterated by the copyist, suggests original staging solutions that may have been made by the first translator and stage adaptor himself.

Warszawski «Hamlet» 1871: dylematy historiograficzne

EN
This article discusses the performance of Hamlet that premiered at Teatr Wielki [Grand Theater] in Warsaw on 24th March 1871. Produced as part of the celebrations of Helena Modrzejewska’s achievement, it is regarded as an important chapter in the history of Warsaw theater in the second half of the 19th century. The author separates historical documents dating from the period in question from later interpretations in order to complicate and problematize the image of this legendary staging created by Józef Szczublewski in the 1960s. Research using archive materials enables a discussion of the instability of facts, the mechanism of creating theater legends, and the dilemmas concerning the description and evaluation of historical phenomena. An important part of the historiographic analysis undertaken in the article is also to problematize the tension between a literature-oriented and theater-oriented approach to studying theater history.
