	The King as Mirror: Autobiographies in 18th Century Poland-Lithuania - Arturas Tereskinas
		Some of the 18th century biographical writings to be examined in this essay were published by Count Edward Raczynski in Poznan5 during the 19th century.
		Although many of the writings included in Edward Raczynski's compilation are attributed to the Polish literary tradition, strong affinities between Poland and Lithuania in the 19th century suggest that the authors' expressions of historical experience and formulations of patterns of their own selves are applicable to Lithuania as well.
		The King's body, attacked and meant to be destroyed, represented a unique metaphor for both "counter-revolution" and "revolution." On the one hand, the discrepancy between social and political realities and the King's body was taken into account by the Confederates, who expected his removal to result in the rebuilding of an appropriate state of government.
