| Summary: | The publication consists of fragments of 43 English-language texts of varied character, which are linked by the fact that their authors report their observations and experiences relating to the theatres and theatre life in the territory of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the post-partitioning period (1795–1918). They include classic travel accounts as well as autobiographies, reportages, memoirs, works of an analytical or problem-focused nature. These texts were written over more than a century in a changing political and social environment. This – and the political views of the authors – obviously influenced the manner and perspective of the writings. The references collected here do not form any thematic or temporal sequence, as they refer to different contexts; nevertheless they do provide a lot of interesting informations and insights. They range from those about the National Theatre headed by Wojciech Bogusławski, about Franciszek Bohomolec or Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski, to the legendary production of Kordian in 1899 in Cracow and the first tango at the Warsaw Novelty Theatre in 1915. Information on dance concerns both stage dance and social practices (ballet, dance on a tight rope, mazur, tango). |
