Czesław Jankowski, Young Poland in Song: A Selection of the Finest Poems of Recent Times [1903]

Format: 20 cm.

Volume: 430, [V] pp.

Binding: Period half-leather.

The anthology *Młoda Polska w pieśni* was compiled by Czesław Jankowski, a critic writing under the pen name Aramis, editor of the St. Petersburg-based *Kraj*, known for his scathing reviews. The first edition (1898) was one of the earliest surveys of new Polish poetry. This second edition, from 1903—“thoroughly revised, expanded, and supplemented”—already showcases a fully formed movement: from the Decadents and Symbolists to poets of the folk and patriotic traditions. The selection reflects the critic’s distinctive views. Published by Gebethner and Wolff.
