Przełom w tradycji. Maironis a polska poezja romantyczna
Journal Title: Wiek XIX. Rocznik Towarzystwa Literackiego im. Adama Mickiewicza - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The article discusses the relationship of Lithuanian poetry with the Polish literary Romanticism in the context of the Lithuanian national movement and the emancipation of Lithuanian culture in the last decades of the 19th century. Tis link is usually seen as motivated by the resistance of the Lithuanian society against the oppressive Russian imperial politics and by the rise of Lithuanian modern nationalism. Tese forces caused the later split of the heterogeneous and multilingual Lithuanian-Polish cultural tradition. Te article focuses on the process of literary communication in the feld of post-romantic poetry, which was characterized by the notion of poets’ “belatedness” and the attempt to fnd the chance for originality in the shadow of the great Romantic forerunners. Te case of the main Lithuanian poet of the period – Jonas Mačiulis-Maironis (1862–1932) shows that the break with the Polish literary tradition was also caused by one other need – the will of the “strong poet” to fnd his own voice. Tis turn was not culturally radical in the beginning: it implied the vision of the equal dialogue between Polish and Lithuanian cultural and social felds. Tis vision, however, attained little resonance in the Lithuanian society, and the departure from the Polish literary and cultural models became obvious in the Maironis’ poetry a decade later.
