Sinopsis

âÇÖPerhaps some day IâÇÖll disappear forever,âÇÖ muses the master-builder Psymmachus in Cyprian Kamil NorwidâÇÖsáCleopatra and Caesar,áâÇÖBecoming one with my work...âÇÖ Today, exactly two hundred years from the poetâÇÖs birth, it is difficult not to hear Norwid speaking through the lips of his character. The greatest poet of the second phase of Polish Romanticism, Norwid, like Gerard Manley Hopkins in England, created a new poetic idiom so ahead of his time, that he virtually âÇÖdisappearedâÇÖ from the artistic consciousness of his homeland until his triumphant rediscovery in the twentieth century. Chiefly lauded for his lyric poetry, Norwid also created a corpus of dramatic works astonishing in their breadth, from the ShakespeareanáCleopatra and Caesarácited above, through the mystical dramasáWandaáandáKrakus, the Unknown Prince, both of which foretell the monumental style of StanisÅéaw WyspiaÅäski, whom Norwid influenced, and drawing-room comedies such asáPure Love at the Sea BathsáandáThe Ring of the Grande Dameáwhich combine great satirical humour with a philosophical depth that can only be compared to the later plays of T.S. Eliot. All of these works, and more, are collected in Charles S. KraszewskiâÇÖs English translation of NorwidâÇÖsáDramatic Works, which along with the major plays also includes selections from NorwidâÇÖs short, lyrical dramatic sketches - something along the order of PushkinâÇÖsáLittle Tragedies.áCyprian Kamil NorwidâÇÖsáDramatic Worksáwill be a valuable addition to the library of anyone who loves Polish Literature, Romanticism, or theatre in general.Translated from the Polish and introduced by Charles S. Kraszewski.This book has been published with the support of the ©POLAND Translation Program.Publishers Maxim Hodak & Max Mendor.
