Jerzego Niemojowskiego heroika narodowa

Abstract

The creative works of Jerzy Niemojowski are very largely determined by the World War II and the experiences that it forced on not only the artists and writers but also the Polish nation and the world. Of significance in this poetry is also the fact of consistent appeals to our literary traditions, the consequence of his conviction of the eternal identity of Polish problems and Polish historical fortunes. The romantic contexts indicated by the author place the poetry of Niemojow’ski in the circle of national literature, in the domain of national myths and stereotypes. These works represent not only the documents of crime and an apologia of Polish heroism, but due to its constructional and problem content complications gives us also a picture of the contemporary world, deprived of harmony. In this way the national heroic poetry of Jerzy Niemojowski is transformed into the heroic poetry of mankind.
