New publication in the series Polish Intellectual Traditions
Literature and Politics after 1989 is an analysis of literature and politics relations after 1989, published in Polish, and prepared by academics from leading Polish academic centers and research institutions. They discuss political themes in the works of Zbigniew Herbert, Gustaw Herling-Grudziński, Czesław Miłosz, Marek Nowakowski, Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz, Bronisław Wildstein and Rafał Ziemkiewicz, and present their influence on the intellectual life of the Third Polish Republic, as well as controversies which they aroused. The authors of the volume consider how the analyzed works describe Polish reality, and how they have changed this reality. It is an interdisciplinary lesson on our contemporary literature, and also a voice in the discussion about contemporary Poland.
