On Poland and Poles in personal writings of the 18th and 19th century foreigners in literary works other than anthologies
Abstract
This text presents some autobiographical writings of foreigners, which concern Poland of 18th and
19th century with the exception of those treated in J. Gintel’s anthology. This is no problem of
systematic information concerning Poland’s reality in these centuries which are to be found in
commentaries and treaties. We are discussing foreign diaries, memoires and autobiographies of
the following authors: G.G. Casanova, Ch.J. de Ligne, J. Michelet, V. Hugo, R. de Chateaubriand,
G. Sand, E. and J. de Goncourts. These autobiographical enunciations are treated here as the credible
source of information. These personal texts are destined for Polish readers, who feel specific
pleasure finding some mentions concerning Poland. The readers encounter Poles as historical
persons, artists, writers in the background of historical events, in travel, social and everyday life.
