This article analyzes, through a comparative approach, a frontier narrative, John Filson’s “The Adventures of Col. Daniel Boon” (1784), in relation to selected medieval chivalric romances from an ecocritical perspective, exploring the way in which medieval patterns have been employed in the American mythopoeic process, especially in relation to the frontier and the wilderness myths. In fact, medievalist narratives have been often employed to justify an anthropocentric, expansionist, and imperialistic agenda with grievous consequences on the way in which Americans engage with nature and with nonhuman species. At the same time, this tendency is often accompanied by an androcentric and ethnocentric rhetoric, contributing to the marginalization from dominant national discourses of significant sections of the population due to their race and gender. For this reason, attention will be also given to how attitudes toward the nonhuman can reflect and bear an impact on those toward other humans. By investigating how narratives develop, evolve, and circulate across time and space, it becomes possible to reveal the harmful logic they carry, and stress the importance of shifting the narrative in the direction of more sustainable intra- and inter-species relations.

Two polish historians and friends, both born in 1916, were among the most eminent medievalists in Poland in the 20th century. Their academic debut came in the years preceding the outbreak of WWII, while their careers progressed brilliantly in the years following the end of the war. For several decades, they marked their academic presence as the authors of great works, and they held the most prominent offi ces in academic life in Poland and in the international arena. They took an active part in the process of political transition, leading to Poland regaining full sovereignty in 1989, and they approved of its evolutionary mode. They were unquestionable moral authorities for scholarly circles and beacons in public activities. Aleksander Gieysztor died in 1999, followed another eleven years later by Gerard Labuda (2010), who remained active until his last days. The 100th anniversary of their birthdays reminds historical circles, first and foremost, albeit not only, of Warsaw and Poznań, about their academic and public achievements.

John Keats often describes poetic creation through an ingestion metaphor and figures the poet and the act of poetic creation within the framework of a healthy ecosystem. The motif of wholesome nourishment appears, in particular, in Keats’s poems of nostalgic retreat into the Middle Ages, where the poet’s present-day concerns are couched in medieval-like literary idiom and imagery. This paper discusses the motif of the wholesome feast in some of these poems to illustrate what I call Keats’s green medievalism.
PL
Artykuł analizuje mediewalizm Johna Keatsa, angielskiego poety okresu Romantyzmu,z perspektywy ekokrytyki. Przedmiotem analizy są w głównej mierze krótkie wiersze poety, takie jak sonet, ballada, czy oda, nawiązujące do tekstów i legend średniowiecznych. Niektóre z tych utworów powstały, jak sygnalizują ich tytuły, na kanwie konkretnych lektur Keatsa, zwłaszcza Chaucera czy tekstów mylnie jemu przypisywanych w XIX wieku. Analiza skupia się na prześledzeniu motywu uczty, bądź celebracji, w bliskości i ścisłym powiązaniu ze światem przyrody. Mediewalizm Keatsa jawi się jako odmiana nurtu sielankowego i realizacja toposu złotego wieku w obliczu niekorzystnych skutków industrializmu, a także jako przejaw ekologicznej wrażliwości poety. Artykuł zwraca uwagę m. in. na leczniczą moc roślin, obrazy miodu, pszczół, wina, działanie snu, nawiązania do legend o Robin Hoodzie, jak również próbuje zgłębić fascynację Keatsa średniowiecznym poematem alegorycznym „Kwiat i liść”.

The present article is an attempt to define the characteristic and distinctive features of P. Mroczkowski’s thinking about the Middle Ages. The author distinguishes between Mroczkowski the professional medievalist, Mroczkowski the popularizer of knowledge about the Middle Ages, and Mroczkowski an ideologist of medievalism understood as a certain counterpoint and counter proposal in relation to modernity. In this latter role the professor reveals the somewhat sentimental and nostalgic aspects of his attitude towards the Middle Ages, which, however, by no means prevents him from being able to analyse that epoch, and its culture, in a more critical spirit too. The author of the article also tries to establish the degree and nature of Mroczkowski’s indebtedness to some English representatives of ideological medievalism, particularly C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton. The Polish scholar appears from this comparison as perhaps a trifle less polemical or philosophical in his approach, but more firmly anchored in a thorough understanding of the materialist and dynamic context of medieval culture and literature.
