Polacy i Żydzi w powieści Józefa Rogosza Odstępca
Poles and Jews in the Novel Ods tępca (A Diss enter) by Józef Rogosz

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to present the images of Jews and Poles created in the novel written by Józef Rogosz and published in installments in the Przegląd Tygodniowy weekly in Warsaw in the years 1880–1882. The article traces reasons for publishing this antisemitic novel in this periodical edited by Adam Wiślicki, who did not have antisemitic views and supported acculturation and integration of Jews with the Polish nation. The article also analyses ways in which Polish v ersus Jewish characters are constructed: the former are created according to negative antisemitic stereotypes, while the latter are presented in positive light. Finally, the article attempts to trace modifications of the text made in the wake of the pogrom in Warsaw in 1881.
