The Discovery of Juliusz Słowacki’s Diary

Summary/Abstract: The article calls attention to Juliusz Słowacki’s diary which has for over fifty years been regarded as lost (it was supposed to have been burnt in Warsaw during the WW II) and now found by Henryk Głębocki, PhD, in Moscow. The diary proves immensely crucial for Słowacki studies, mainly as a collection of the poet’s priceless manuscripts and sketches reporting his East voyage. Kalinowska discusses the editorial history of the poem “A Voyage to the Holy Land from Naples” – the most important of the texts that the diary contains. A detailed description of the 74 pages diary and its content is provided by Manfred Kridl in his preface to the 1925 edition of “A Voyage to the Holy Land from Naples,” and then in the 1956 introduction to the poem in question published in Juliusz Słowacki’s “Dzieła wszystkie (Collected Works)” volume 9 edited by Juliusz Kleiner.
