Kobiety czasów saskich z piórem w ręku

Journal Title: Prace Literaturoznawcze - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3

Abstract

The article presents an attempt to characterize the increase in women's literary activity observed by researchers to have taken place during the reign of the two kings of the Wettin Dynasty. The period preceding the First Partition of Poland, for a long time seen as the time of culture in decline, are decades in which for the first time in our history women took up writing on such a scale. The phenomenon concerned most of all the nobility and the gentry and was connected with, among other things, the changes in education started in the second half of the 17th century. The discussion also covers the interrelations between the women who took to the pen over that period, indicating the reading matter which inspired them and the circumstances which facilitated their literary activity.
