Sinopsis

&ldquo,God hath denied me that angelic measure / Without which no man sees in me the poet,&rdquo, writes Zygmunt KrasiÅäski in one of his most recognisable lyrics. Yet while it may be true that his lyric output cannot rival in quality the verses of the other two great Polish Romantics, Adam Mickiewicz and Juliusz SÅéowacki, KrasiÅäski&rsquo,s dramatic muse gives no ground to any other.The Glagoslav edition of theáDramatic Worksáof Zygmunt KrasiÅäski provides the English reader, for the first time, with all of KrasiÅäski&rsquo,s plays in the translation of Charles S. Kraszewski. These include the sweeping costume dramaáIrydion,áin which the author sets forth the grievances of his occupied nation through the fable of an uprising of Greeks and barbarians against the dissipated emperor Heliogabalus, and, of course, the monumental drama on which his international fame rests: theáUndivine Comedy.A cosmic play, which defies simple description, theáUndivine Comedyáis both a de-masking of the Byronic ideal of the poet, whose nefarious, and selfish devotion to the ideal has evil consequences for real human beings, and a prophetic warning of the fratricidal class warfare that was to roil the first decades of the twentieth century. TheáUndivine Comedyáis intriguing in the way that the author presents both sides of this question &mdash, the republican and that of theáancien régime &mdash,áwith sympathy and understanding. It is also striking how &mdash, in 1830 &mdash, the author foresaw the problems of the 1930s.As CzesÅéaw MiÅéosz once put it, KrasiÅäski was insightfully commenting on Marxism while Karl Marx was still in high school. TheáDramatic Worksáof Zygmunt KrasiÅäski also include the unfinished playá1846, which hints at how the author would have handled a work meant for the traditional stage, and theáUnfinished Poem &mdash,áthe Dantean &ldquo,prequel&rdquo, to theáUndivine Comedy, on which KrasiÅäski was working at his death.This book was published with the support of the Hanna and Zdzislaw Broncel Charitable Trust.Translated from the Polish and introduced by Charles S. Kraszewski.This book was published with the support of the Hanna and Zdzislaw Broncel Charitable Trust.Publishers Maxim Hodak & Max Mendor.áá
