The goal of this article is to present the critical reception of the biography and works of Joseph Conrad in Poland in 1897–1945. Special emphasis is put on the political, social, cultural and aesthetic factors conditioning this process. The reception originated in the era of partitions, whereas Conrad’s relative popularity among the intellectual and artistic elite started only in the interwar period. A special role in promotion of Conrad was played by Stefan Żeromski and the poets associated with the “Skamander” group. In later years, Conrad became the object of fascination of many representatives of the generation of 1910, who were highly infl uenced by Józef Ujejski, author of the monograph O Konradzie Korzeniowskim [On Konrad Korzeniowski]. Conrad’s works played a special role during World War II – they provided moral support to many people struggling against the Nazi and Stalinist

Although there would seem to be no apparent link between the English novelist Joseph Conrad and Marshal Józef Piłsudski, who restored the Polish State after World War I, they did in fact have much in common. Both hailed from the Polish eastern borderlands and both came from patriotic noble families. Both had been nurtured on the Polish Romantic poets – and Słowacki in particular. For both of them the failure of the 1863 January Uprising was a traumatic experience and both of them suffered exile in Russia. However, whereas Conrad did not believe that Poland would ever be able to regain her independence, Piłsudski led a successful armed struggle for the Polish cause, thus earning the writer’s unstinting admiration. Piłsudski for his part took pleasure in reading Conrad’s Lord Jim.

The goal of the article is to show how activities of the communist censorship tried to block, and when this proved impossible, to diminish the social resonance of one of the most important historical works of documentary character – the book 1859 dni Warszawy by Władysław Bartoszewski (Kraków 1974, “Znak” publishing house). When this chronicle had been released, a number of positive reviews was restricted and some of them were not admitted to print. There were attacks on this book in communist party and military periodicals, however it found defenders among scholarly and moral authorities and was valued by the Polish emigration press.

Conrad´s Cracow

This article discusses Joseph Conrad’s links with Cracow, the historic capital of Poland and a major centre of Polish culture. Conrad fi rst came to Cracow in February 1869, accompanied by his father Apollo Korzeniowski, who - after several years of exile in northern Russia - had become gravely ill. Conrad visited the city a second time in the summer of 1914, having accepted an invitation from the young Polish politician Józef Hieronim Retinger, and (not without some diffi culty) eventually managed to get himself and his family safely back to Britain after the outbreak of World War I. Both of these sojourns in Cracow played an important role in Conrad’s life - and, one might say, in his creative work as a writer. One of the most vivid memories of his fi rst stay in Cracow was the hero’s funeral given to his father, who had been a victim of tsarist oppression. It was from Cracow that the young Conrad set out for France in order to take up a maritime career in Marseilles. During his second stay in Cracow (and Zakopane) Conrad made the acquaintance of many members of the Polish intellectual elite and took the decision to become actively involved in the cause of Polish independence.

The goal of this article is to depict an important episode in a biography of an outstanding Polish poet, a representative of “the generation of Columbuses” – Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński. This episode was the military service of the poet. Baczyński consciously resigned from the Polish studies at the secret Warsaw University and in June of 1943 joined the Assault Groups of the Gray Ranks. He went through all the training stages on the cadet level and took part in assault actions, including detonation of a train transporting German soldiers. On 1st August 1944 he took part in the Warsaw Upraising and on the 4th day of said month he died in the Blank Palace at the Theater Square. The motives of Baczyński’s actions were the family tradition as well as the model of the soldier-poet preserved in the Romantic culture.

PL

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie ważnego fragmentu biografii wybitnego poety polskiego, przedstawiciela „pokolenia Kolumbów” – Krzysztofa Kamila Baczyńskiego. Fragmentem tym była służba wojskowa poety. Baczyński świadomie zrezygnował ze studiów polonistycznych na tajnym Uniwersytecie Warszawskim i w czerwcu 1943 roku wstąpił do Grup Szturmowych Szarych Szeregów. Przeszedł przez wszystkie etapy szkolenia w podchorążówce i brał udział w akcjach zbrojnych, w tym także wysadzeniu pociągu z żołnierzami niemieckimi. 1 sierpnia 1944 roku uczestniczył w powstaniu warszawskim i czwartego tegoż miesiąca poległ w Pałacu Blanka przy placu Teatralnym. Motywami postępowania Baczyńskiego była zarówno tradycja rodzinna, jak i utrwalony w kulturze romantycznej wzorzec poety-żołnierza.

The article attempts at a presentation and an interpretation of a relatively unknown text by Joseph Conrad, namely, his Memoriał w sprawie polskiej [Note on the Polish Problem], written in Zakopane in 1914. The author of this article by interpreting the text of that document proves that it was created – to a great extent − under the influence of trialist conceptions of Galician conservatives, predominantly, an eminent lawyer from Kraków, Ph.D. Teodor Kosch.

Artykuł stanowi próbę prezentacji i interpretacji stosunkowo mało znanego tekstu Conrada, jego Memoriału w sprawie polskiej, napisanego w Zakopanem w roku 1914. Autor artykułu, interpretując treść owego dokumentu, dowodzi, że powstał on w dużej mierze pod wpływem trialistycznych koncepcji konserwatystów galicyjskich, a przede wszystkim wybitnego adwokata krakowskiego, doktora Teodora Koscha.

The aim of the present article is to present the achievements of Rafał Marceli Blüth (1891-1939) in the field of Conrad scholarship. During the period between the First and Second World Wars, Blüth was a prominent Catholic intellectual and-along with Prof. Józef Ujejski and the well-known writer Maria Dąbrowska-was one of Poland’s foremost Conrad critics. As well as interpreting Conrad’s novels, Blüth researched the writer’s biography, particularly with regard to the role played by family tradition in the Polish eastern borderlands. He also put forward a detailed interpretation of the factors which might have influenced Conrad’s decision to leave Poland while he was still in his teens. Blüth’s greatest achievements as a literary critic include interpretations of novels such as Victory, The Rover and Nostromo, an attempt to classify the main characters of Conrad’s novels and a study comparing Conrad’s writing and view of the world with those of Dostoevsky.

The aim of this article is to show how Conrad’s fiction (and above all the novel Lord Jim) influenced the formation of the ethical attitudes and standards of the members of the Polish Home Army, which was the largest underground army in Nazi-occupied Europe. The core of this army was largely made up of young people who had been born around the year 1920 (i.e. after Poland had regained her independence in 1918) and who had had the opportunity to become acquainted with Conrad’s books during the interwar years. During the wartime occupation, Conrad became the favourite author of those who were actively engaged in fighting the Nazi regime, familiarizing young conspirators with the ethics of honour-the conviction that fighting in a just cause was a reward in itself, regardless of the outcome. The views of this generation of soldiers have been recorded by the writers who were among them: Jan Józef Szczepański, Andrzej Braun and Leszek Prorok.
