Before Adam Mickiewicz, Juliusz S\u0142owacki, and Zygmunt Krasi\u0144ski, the foundations of Polish Romanticism in literature were laid by a group of poets oriented toward Poland\u2019s eastern borderlands, outside the academic centers of Warsaw and Cracow. The constellation of writers that have stood out as a marker of this early Romantic period are referred to as the \u201cUkrainian School\u201d<\/strong> for their works predominately set in the Ukrainian lands. The key figures are Antoni Malczewski<\/strong>, whose Byronic tale, Maria<\/em> is particularly highly regarded for its psychological insight as well as its poetry. J\u00f3zef Bohdan Zaleski<\/strong> was so popular that he could be mentioned simply by the name \u201cBohdan\u201d in Narcyza \u017bmichowska\u2019s novel The Heathen<\/a><\/em> (Poganka<\/em>), which we discussed in season 2, episode 11. Zaleski was highly regarded as the \u201cnightingale\u201d of Polish poetry by the Romantics, though contemporary readers might find his \u201cwistfulness\u201d too saccharine for modern ears. Seweryn Goszczy\u0144ski<\/strong> offers the most well-known version of the story of the Hajdamak uprising at the Castle of Kani\u00f3w, which is a theme addressed by several of the Ukrainian school poets. S\u0142owacki\u2019s \u201cSilver Dream of Salome\u201d can be regarded as a work of the Ukrainian school, but we will reserve that for a later episode dedicated to S\u0142owacki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we discuss in this episode, all the elements of European Romanticism make their way into the works of the Ukrainian school: the Byronic hero, Laoco\u00f6n as a symbol of human agony, the sublime, the supernatural, mesmerism, ruined castles, pathetic fallacy, and the like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
