Ukrainian school of Polish Romanticism


Ukrainian school of Polish Romanticism - a nineteenth-century group of Polish poets and romantic writers born in Ukraine right-bank - incorporated into the Russian Empire after the partition of the Commonwealth.

The "Ukrainian school" included Antoni Malczewski, Seweryn Goszczyński, Aleksander Groza, Józef Bohdan Zaleski and Michał Grabowski. Antoni Grozka and Michał Czajkowski are also sometimes mentioned, as well as the Polish-Polish poet and composer Tomasz Padurra. An important figure - Inspector, mecassa and friend for many of the school's representatives - was Waclaw Seweryn Rzewuski. The theoretical foundations of the group were determined by Aleksander Tyszyński and Michał Grabowski in the book About the School of Ukrainian Poetry (1840).

Literary critics include Juliusz Słowacki and Jozef Ignacy Kraszewski in this school. In Juliusz Słowacki's Ukrainian motifs are most prominent in the works Salomei Silver Dream, Ukrainian Pride, Pride of Waclaw Rzewuski. Józef Ignacy Kraszewski published a number of folk tales related to Ukraine: History of Sawki, Ulana, Ostap Bondarchuk, Budnik, Chata za wieią, Jermoła. The poets of the Ukrainian school were characterized by the themes of Ukraine's history and folk culture, to the Ukrainian landscape (frequent calligraphy of the steppes) and folklore, Middle Eastern orientalism, fascination with paganism, and Kozak's fictional creation. They formed the myth of Ukraine, whose role in Polish history and culture was compared to the role of Scotland in English culture (Maurycy Mochnacki).
