Polish literature and culture from Romanticism to Modernism
The seminar provides an overview of the most important works of Polish literature from Romanticism to Positivism and Modernism. The texts are considered in the context of the main historical and cultural events of the long 19th century. The history of literature will be linked with the cultural and social history of Poland in order to discuss not only the aesthetics but also the potential of literature to deal with or at least depict socially relevant issues.
