Kochanowski, who was educated at the Polish university of Krakow

Golden Age and the greatest humanist poet of his country. The
Laments were inspired by grief at the death of his little daughter. St.
John's Eve is a garden of bucolics, a gallery of pictures of quaint old
country _ customs. The Dismissal of tie Greek Envoys is a poetic
drama, in which the tale of Troy is made the medium of poetic admoni-
tions to his own people.

Count Bruehl, a romance of history; tr. by the Count de
Soissons. Lond. Greening. 1911; (Lotus library) N. Y.
Brentano. 1922.
A historical romance of the period of the Saxon kings. As a young
boy, Bruehl became a page in the court of ? Augustus the Strong, and
rose in power and influence so that for many years he reallyt ruled
Poland and Saxony in the name of the feeble kings whom he dominated.
Countess Cosel; tr. by the Count de Soissons. Lond.

This story precedes Bruehl in point of time. Cosel was a mistress
of Augustus the Strong.

The Jew; from the Polish. Lond. Heinemann. 1893.
The Jejv; tr. by Kowalewska. N. Y. Dodd, Mead. 1890.
This is a very fine story, with its chief dramatic interest in the events
of the Polish insurrection of 1863, of which the author had first hand
knowledge. The patriotic purpose of Ivas the Pole is parallelled by the
spiritual mission of Jacob the Jew. Ivas dies a martyr, Jacob is driven
into exile. Kraszewski did not actually take part in this Insurrection,
but he was so suspected and harassed by the Russian authorities that he
had to leave the country, to which he never after was able to return.

"This is, after Pan Thaddeus, the most important work of t Poland's
greatest poet. It was written in 1832, when all the Polish patriots were
heartsick at the failure of the Insurrection af the previous year. Its
primary purpose is to 'Justify the ways of God to men,' to reconcile
