Pożyteczny obywatel z Grabowca, czyli nieznane karty biografii Tomasza Kajetana Węgierskiego
A Useful Citizen of Grabowiec or Unknown Pages in Tomasz Kajetan Węgierski’s Biography

Summary/Abstract: In spite of the increasing interest in the last years in Tomasz Kajetan Węgierski’s creativity, research in his biography stand in the same place, even though it contains many blank spots or false pieces of information which are adopted and accepted. The article aims to revise some of them, to correct the falsely established his date and place of birth, to introduce into academic circulation new bibliographical facts including that of his origin. The text is based on a few archive search queries. One of the presented discoveries are two letters unknown to Węgierski’s scholars (dated 1778 and 1784) which have been analysed and included into the paper in the translation from French. It is suggested that the conclusions from the article allow to insight into the poet’s activity and into at least a part of his literary creativity in a slightly different context.
