Ha! Thank you so much for posting this. Recently I was searching google for "Polish authors" but the search result was so massive that I couldn't clearly see what I wanted, that is a short list of representative authors, and also a rough structure of thee volution of Polish literature through the ages.

Now I know where to start. I'll start with Mickiewicz, as I always had a preference for romanticism when learning the literature of my own native language (French).

On my latest trip to Kraków, I also bought this book, thinking it could be interesting, but I need to have a more advanced knowledge of the Polish style and vocabulary before I'll start reading it :
NIESAMOWITA SŁOWIAŃSZCZYZNA

-Modern:
ex: Wisława Szymborska
:)

- Middle Ages:
Bulla gnieznienska
Ksiega henrykowska – contains the first sentence written in Polish Day, ut ia pobrusa, a ti poziwai
Kazania swiętokrzyskie
Wincenty Kadlubek
Jan Dlugosz

- Renaissance:
Mikolaj Rey

- World War II
K.K. Baczynski

check "forbidden poets" such as Edward Stachura, Andrzej Bursa and Rafał Wojaczek (XX century)

better Mikołaj Rej

Romanticism:
Aleksander Fredro

Positivism:
Eliza Orzeszkowa

Positivism/Young Poland:
Stefan Żeromski

Sienkiewicz and Reymont in Enlightenment??? Noooo....

Henryk Sienkiewicz - positivism
Władysław Stanisław Reymont - Positivism / Young Poland

i guess hehe

The author himself used Mikolay Rey:

yes, he is from family Rey, but today we accept his name mostly as Rej

I accept both.

you suppose that M. Rej shoud be grateful now? lol

me too, i just have written the second version

I dunno what he would do or not, but I know he wrote about himself "I, Mikolay Rey Z nagłowicz". If the "father of Polish literature" calls himself Rey than who am I to tell him otherwise?

The form Rej was introduced about 350 years after Rey's death.

heh okay, I just wanted to point out that you sounded a bit ... ummm like you will eventually accept both forms and Rej should be happy that you do haha sorry :D

Is it any problem for you? lol

Why? I mentioned the name. You posted a correction. Was it because you had a problem?

lol yeah, on PF everyone changes my name all the time and even my boy pronounced it incorrect at first hahah umm and i'm still alived XD wonder what they will say in years after my death

Wyspianska, you know, it's Polish hehe


I don't think writing second version is like solving some problems.
