Polish Culture Course

Romanticism in Polish minds and hearts,

now and before…

Academic discourse

The 2022 marks the 200th anniversary of the first issue of “Ballads and Romances” by Adam Mickiewicz. It began the Polish Romanticism. “The literature and culture of Polish Romanticism shaped the spiritual dimension and profile of Poles” – Members of the Parliament wrote in the resolution on announcing 2022 as the Year of the Romanticism in Poland.

There are debates, in printed and electronic media, that try gradually to decrease the value of Romantic culture and authors, finding them outdated and not important anymore for today’s Polish society. Obviously, it’s not unimportant to the general consciousness of Poles living in Poland and abroad.

As part of our traditional meetings of the Polish Culture Course, with the participation of outstanding experts in culture of Romanticism age (incl. aspects of the past and presence), together with the university professors and our academic teachers, members of the Association of the Polish Writers Abroad, and other people interested in Romanticism, 18 .

We are going to create a scientific and cultural event with the high social and pedagogical impact. Feel free to join us!

Yours faithfully,

Ewa Lewandowska-Tarasiuk
