The relation between Kniaźnin’s works (Matka Spartanka and Matka obywatelka) and Mickiewicz’spoem Do matki Polki is sometimes portrayed as merely the transmission of themes and motifs.This paper argues that it is more complicated than it seems. Although similarities are noticeable,these works are not comparable, since both authors wrote in completely different historical circumstances.The context discussed in this paper is the issue of national consciousness. The land as wellas the state were treated as necessary conditions for the existence of the nation during Kniaźnin’s times, which is confirmed in legal textbooks, dictionaries and literature. However, these factors wereno longer valid during the Romantic period. In this sense, it is Tren IV by Józef Morelowski, writtenin 1795, when the Third (last) Partition of Poland took place, that may be considered a representativeexample. Women were advised not to give birth anymore, for their children could not be Poles butPrussians or Muscovites. After such a suggestion, a revolution in the consciousness of the societywas necessary in order to persuade mothers to raise their children in a patriotic manner.

The article presents the interpretation of the Józef Wybicki’s opera “Samnitka” (“The Samnite”) (1787), which may be considered as a voice in the debate initiated and extremely lively at the end of the 18th century on the involvement of Polish women in active participation in the national community. One of the many patterns of behavior proposed to women at the time as a way to join the struggle for their homeland, was the model of a citizen-lover who rewards patriots with love and rejects and despises traitors. Such an attitude is presented, for example, by Franciszek Dionizy Kniaźnin’s Leucyppa from “Matka Spartanka” (“Spartan mother”) (1786). In this context, “Samnitka” seems to be an insightful and critical analysis of the pattern described above, undertaken only at the beginning of its popularization. It shows the ethical ambivalence of this pattern and undermines the effectiveness of this type of procedure.
