\u201cThe Forces and Resources of Our Stage\u201d is a comprehensive study of Warsaw\u2019s acting scene during the so-called \u201cera of the stars,\u201d written by W\u0142adys\u0142aw Bogus\u0142awski, a theater critic from a family with ties to the National Theater. In 1876, Bogus\u0142awski became the director of drama and comedy at the Warsaw Government Theaters and staged works by Shakespeare and Hugo, among others, but after eight months he stepped down in the face of opposition from part of the troupe and the press. The book, first serialized in *Gazeta Polska* (1878) and published separately in 1879, is a summary of these experiences and an analysis of Warsaw\u2019s acting community. In it, Bogus\u0142awski writes about the theatrical performance as an artistic whole.<\/p>\n
