Dear List,
A query from Susan Jones, St. Hilda's College, Oxford. Any ideas much
appreciated
a) Is there any secondary criticism that identifies Spenserian influences
on early nineteenth-century Polish romantic literature (especially
dramatists/poets such as Adam Mickiewicz [1798-1853]; Juliusz Slowacki
[1809-1849])?
b) Has any specific connection been made between Mickiewicz's *Grazyna* (1823)
- a female knight who represents the nationalist cause -
and Britomart in Book III/IV FQ?
