Uczeni przeciw „milczącej otchłani”. Współpraca Moniki M. Gardner i Romana Dyboskiego na rzecz sprawy polskiej w Wielkiej Brytanii
Scholars Against The Silent Abyss. The Cooperation Between Monica M. Gardner and Roman Dyboski in Favour of the Polish Question in the United Kingdom

Summary/Abstract: There was scarce cooperation among Polish and British scholars in the interwar period due mainly to poor political relations between the two countries. Despite strong anti-Polish propaganda in the leading British daily newspapers, there was a group of people actively involved in the construction of the positive image of Poland in the British Isles. Among them one can find Roman Dyboski, English philologist from Cracow, and Monica Mary Gardner, writer on Poland and Polish literature from London. With the help of Polish Embassy in the UK they were striving in order to improve Polish-British relations by presenting the Anglo-Saxon readers with numerous studies on history of Polish literature and culture. Polish, British and American archival materials help the author depict the meanders of this academic friendship with its most essential fruits.
