A Biography of Polish Poet Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855)
To complete work on a biography of Poland's national poet Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855). Focusing on Mickiewicz's prominence among his contemporaries as poet, professor, mystic, and politician, the biography embeds the story of his life in the larger narrative of European and Russian romanticism, of which he was, in many ways, an exemplar. Intended for specialists and non-specialists alike, publication of the biography is intended to coincide with the sesquicentennial of the poet's birth in 2005.
