Norwid’s Poland

Abstract

The article reconstructs Cyprian Norwid’s vision of Poland and Polishness as one of crucial themes in his works since it constantly recurs in his reflections. Analysis covers Norwid’s statements regarding the territory of Poland, its position in Europe, form of government as well as social, cultural and ethnic structure. These questions are situated in the context of the poet’s biography, ideas and postulates. In this light, he is revealed to be an insightful and bold republican thinker, open to diversity, intellectually modern, and deeply attached to tradition. A true patriot, he sought to reconcile various political options in the spirit of universalism rooted in religious values.
