Description - Polish Romantic Drama: Three Plays in English Translation by Harold B. Segel
Devoted to Polish Romantic drama, this volume contains translations of three major plays: "Forefathers' Eve", Part 3, by Adam Mickiewicz; "The Un-Divine Comedy" by Zygmunt Krasinski; and "Fantazy" by Juliusz Slowacki. In the introduction, Professor Segel discusses the plays against the background of the Romantic movement in Poland and points out their ideological and artistic importance. As products of revolutionary Poland - there after the Insurrection of 1830 or otherwise identified with the Great Emigration - they are permeated with the spirit of Romantic rebellion, with pleas for universal justice, and with queries concerning the role of the poet in society.
