	Sarmatian Review XVII.2: Wasko
		The epoch of Romanticism is crucial to the development of Polish literature, yet recent evaluations of Polish Romanticism have been based on premises drawn from the methodologies of nonliterary studies, primarily those of history and sociology.
		The era of Romanticism in Poland was transitory yet central, as it was directly connected with 'Old Polish' (staropolska) history, mentality and social culture, while at the same time being directly related to the outlook and sensibility of modern Poles.
		Romanticism was of course in rebellion against the spirit of the Enlightenment, and in matters of historical judgment concerning the Old Polish heritage, the Romantics extended to Sarmatism their vigorous struggle against skepticism and satirical attitudes of the illuminati.

	Romanticism in Poland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Romanticism in Poland was a period in the evolution of Polish arts and culture that began with the publication of Adam Mickiewicz's first poems in 1822 and ended with the suppression of the January 1863 Uprising in 1864.
		Polish Romanticism, unlike Romanticism elsewhere in Europe, was not largely limited to literary and artistic concerns.
		By and large, Polish Romanticism, reviwing the old Sarmatism traditions of Polish nobility (szlachta) is indebted to Polish history in ways not observable in other Eupopean countries, where the contrast between past glory and present misery was not that pronounced, or did not exist at all.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Polish Literature
		Romanticism was yet to come, but it had a forerunner in Brodzinski, who, though somewhat stereotyped in his diction, was nevertheless familiar with German poetry and tended to simplicity of thought, seeking his inspiration where the Romantics were wont to seek it.
		In Poland the first efforts to cast off the yoke were feeble and timid, but little by little the new forms of beauty kindled interest, while the idea of a return to the poetry of the people proved particularly attractive.
		His "Przedswit" (The Dawn) told Poland that her present condition was a trial to purify her, which lesson was repeated in his "Psalms of the Future", together with a warning against acts that might call down a yet greater calamity.

	Definitions of Romanticism
		One of the fundamentals of Romanticism is the belief in the natural goodness of man, the idea that man in a state of nature would behave well but is hindered by civilization (Rousseau -- "man is born free and everywhere he is in chains").
		In France Romanticism is associated with the nineteenth century, particular in the paintings of Theodore Gericault and Eugene Delacroix, the plays of Victor Hugo and the novels of Stendhal.
		It is possible to sense the ground for the predominant Romanticism of the nineteenth century being prepared from the time in 1740s when 'feeling' came to be consciously valued when the galant style and its German counterpart Empfindsamkeit were at its height (especially in the works of CPE Bach).

	Samizdat Magazine
		The triumph of national romanticism is responsible for shaping the concept of the Polish poet as national destiny’s supreme interpreter (Mickiewicz), its inspired visionary (Slowacki), or its shrewd dialectician (Krasinski).
		Poland’s social reality was pressed in the service of grand national narratives, and individual perspective was sacrificed at the altar of patriotic soul — searching.
		To restate the point: romanticism has entangled Polish lyricism in a false dilemma from which Polish poetry has so far not managed to recover: it is unable to assert its superiority over history, or, alternatively, to assert and maintain a separateness from history and from immediate communal concerns.

The destination, not for some second or third generation American on a student visa, but for "B-52s with heavy payloads"
		Their competing views of Polish society are both steeped in the same whistling kettle of Polish Romanticism--old Romantic Poland, the failed workers' paradise, the fate of Poles in exile, whether that exile is Siberia or 19th century Paris or modern Europe.
		Her longing is not for the Poland where she currently lives (teaching at the University in Gdansk), and not for the Poland of nostalgia (there are no Slavic Babcias and Dziadzios in her poems telling her tales of the glorious old country), and not even for the America that she left behind.

	Courses on Polish literature
		Poland under Communist rule was a country of profound paradoxes: in politics, culture and everyday life experience.
		This course probes these paradoxes by analyzing the complex coexistence of art and literature with changing cultural politics in a totalitarian and post-totalitarian system, with dominant, simplistic ideology, and growing political dissent, with prevailing myths about the West and persistent myths about the East.
		It analyzes the impact of these changes on Poland’s self-definition and social consciousness, on the politics of identity and history, as well as on the perception of identity and nationhood.
