| Description: |
This first of three parts of the History of the Polish Intelligentsia deals with the time from 1750 to 1831. It traces the formation of the intelligentsia as a social class, stresses the importance of the birth of bureaucratic institutions and analyses the results of the collapse of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795. |
| Synopsis: |
The three-part work provides a first synthetic account of the history of the Polish intelligentsia from the days of its formation to World War I. Part one (1750-1831) traces the formation of the intelligentsia as a social class in the epoch of Enlightenment. It stresses the importance of the birth of bureaucratic institutions that created the demand for the educated stratum. It analyses the results of the collapse of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795 - the ominous event that transformed the political geography of East Central Europe. The work combines social and intellectual history, tracing both the formation of the intelligentsia as a social stratum and the forms of engagement of the intelligentsia in the public discourse. Thus, it offers a broad view of the group's transformations which immensely influenced the course of the Polish history. |
