Description

This is the first full-length study on the outstanding Polish poet and thinker Cyprian Norwid for the English-speaking reader. It provides a biographical sketch sufficient for the understanding of his work, and discussion of his achievement in each genre, with the emphasis on poetry. An English edition of selected works is in progress, as Norwid's work is not considered easy in his native Polish, which he uses with brilliant inventiveness. The brief summary of Norwid's thought and historiosophy indicates his connection to both Christian and nineteenth-century European philosophical traditions.
