Summary/Abstract: Scholarly texts placed in the publication “Prince Józef Poniatowski in culture and education” offer an multidimensional portrait of the royal family member. They reveal different mechanisms of the character’s creation in literary, social, educational, media-studying, historical, and geographical contexts. They show that Józef Poniatowski is still seen as a hero who codifies the national imagination, while the controversies related to his life and death, his existential path leading from salon to battlefield – affect as a socially perceptible character.
