Prasa Wielkiej Emigracji (1832–1870) w polskim prasoznawstwie
Press of the Great Emigration (1832-1870) in the Polish Press Studies

Summary/Abstract: The articles contains a brief description of the Great Emigration (1832–1870) publications, in particular their statistics and typology. It also concerns the directions and results of studies in this area, undertaken by historians after 1945. The citations analysis has been used widely for the evaluation of the research output. Researchers’ interest in the press of this period has been moderate. A total number of 55 scholars have worked in this area. They published 83 papers, cited 257 times in the appropriate discourse (history of press) [143 times below the half-life period]. The greatest achievements in this respect were accomplished by: Sławomir Kalembka (8 papers) [40 citations], Ludwik Gocel (3) [17], and Stanisław Szostakowski (2) [9], who amassed almost a half of all references [66]. Important papers were also published by historians of literature: Maria Straszewska (1) [7], Halina Stankowska (3) [2], and occasional authors: Stefan Kieniewicz (3) [6], Ludwik Zieliński (2) [5]. A different role in this area was played by Marian Tyrowicz (2) [14]. The greatest accomplishments in the analyzed area are three monographs: “Prasa demokratyczna Wielkiej Emigracji: dzieje i główne koncepcje polityczne 1832–1863” by S. Kalembka (Toruń 1977), “Z kart Wielkiej Emigracji: prasa obozu arystokratyczno-konserwatywnego w latach 1832–1848” by S. Szostakowski (Olsztyn 1974), and “Literatura i krytyka w czasopismach Wielkiej Emigracji” (1832–1848)” by H. Stankowska (Wrocław 1973). This area seems to be relatively well covered; only a modern bibliography of titles is lacking.
