Zapomniana „chłopska odyseja” Kornela Ujejskiego (przyczynek do badań nad poezją pogrobowców romantyzmu)

Abstract

The article is meant to act as a reflection on the forgotten, and, until recently, unknown in its preserved entirety, poem by Kornel Ujejski (published in 1993), entitled Grzela. Short stories for the Polish Peasantry Written Down by Kornel of Pawłów. Part One. Te year 1846. Te work is based on the events of the Galician Slaughter (Peasant Uprising), and envisages a solidaristic idea of reconciling the nobility with the commoners in the clarifcation of modern Polish society. Grzela is a part of Ujejski’s poetry written afer the Galician Uprising, purposely created for peasant readers, and on their behalf at the same time. Tis trend was inspired by the poetic manifesto of authors publishing for the Polish Literary Journal (Dziennik Literacki) since the mid-19th century. On the one hand, the article aims to interpretatively echo an unknown poem (also from the perspective of the motif of the Galician Uprising in Polish literature), and on the other hand to analyse the broader mechanism of “rejecting” romantic literature in the second half of the century.
