  Zbigniew Morsztyn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For 9 years (1648-1657) he was in the army, where he fought the Swedish invasion and Russians.
His most celebrated work was religious poetry, contrasting with his cousin Jan Andrzej Morsztyn's style.
Morsztyn was a member of a Christian Polish sect called Polish Brethren which existed from 1562 to 1658.

 BAROQUE by Michael J. Mikoś
Zbigniew Morsztyn, who fought in the Cossack and Swedish wars and was imprisoned by the Swedes, wrote a plaintive Song of Captivity, as well as the epitaph for Paweł Morsztyn, killed in the 1652 battle at Batoh.
It was, however, the court poems of Jan Andrzej Morsztyn that exemplified best the poetic art of the mature Baroque.
Morsztyn often employed a conceit--a figure of speech which establishes a striking parallel between two apparently dissimilar things or situations.

 Polish brethren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Their main ideologues were Piotr z Goniadza (Gonesius), Grzegorz Pawel z Brzezin, although Johannes Crellius (originally from Germany), and Jan Ludwik Wolzogen (who came to Poland from Austria).
Among the best known adherents of this sect are Mikolaj Sienicki, Jerzy Niemojewski, and writers and poets Zbigniew Morsztyn and Waclaw Potocki.
These men were expelled from Poland after a series of 17th century wars known as the Deluge in which Sweden invaded Poland, since they were commonly seen as Swedish collaborators.

One of the more successful examples is the Votum by Zbigniew Morsztyn, whose finest achievement, however, was in religious poetry.
In contrast was the work of his cousin, Jan Andrzej Morsztyn, whose language was marked by the extravagant style of 16th-century Italian.
The formal complexity and skill of his verse were unsurpassed; and his translation of the French dramatist Pierre Corneille's Le Cid has remained the standard Polish version.

, Leopold Tyrmand, Zofia Starowieyska-Morstinowa, Jerzy Zawieyski, Zbigniew Herbert.
Zbigniew Herbert was never satisfied with discovering traces, signs, and codes in the universe.
The four elements stimulate the artistic activity of Zbigniew Jankowski, but his poems are acts of a revolution in faith that finally convince us that the world is meaningful, for it is founded by God.

It presents Polish poetry of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries against the background of the European sacred and secular culture.
The author discusses the Renaissance and Baroque Polish writers from Mikołaj Rej to Zbigniew Morsztyn, as those who continued in their works the tradition of ancient Greece and Rome as well as medieval Christianity.
The author emphasizes the connections between the Polish use of the emblem in the seventeenth century and that of such Dutch authors as Pieter Hooft, Otto Vaenius, and Jakob Cats.

 poetrymagazines.org.uk - Polish Poetry in the West, or the Canon that Fired Late
I am told that, for his fellow-countrymen, part of Zbigniew Herbert’s originality and influence resides in the way he has transformed the language and technique of Polish poetry.
The interest, we have to remember, started with the poetry of Zbigniew Herbert at the height of the cold war.
It seems clear to me that the greater attention paid to Herbert than to Rózewicz has much to do with his justified reputation as a dissident hero, while Rózewicz is missing out on the reputation he deserves because, in accordance with Bloom’s Nietzschean criteria, he uncomfortably questions all values.

 Sundials in Poland
An ardent defender of freedom of religion, he wanted to gain the Radziwills, his powerful co-religionist protectors, for the cause he struggled for.
Together with Zbigniew Morsztyn he is considered to be among the most eminent poets representing the Polish Brethren.
The rich collection of books which belonged to the Przypkowskis at that time was destroyed during the pogrom of the Polish Brethren in 1655; only one volume accidentally remained - “The Mirror” by Kikolaj Rej, now in the Czartoryski Library in Cracow.
