Maria Dąbrowska – Stanisław Stempowski: Seven Letters (1941-1950)

Summary/Abstract: The seven letters by Maria Dąbrowska and Stanisław Stempowski come from their correspondence from the years 1924-1951, which numbers 1034 letters and awaits publication. The letters written before 1939 illustrate Dąbrowska’s development as a writer and her growing artistic self-awareness. Their wartime correspondence is sparse and indicates topical restraint. The letters written after 1945 cover the period when Dąbrowska, being in a relationship with Anna Kowalska, spent a lot of time in Wrocław, whereas Stempowski guarded their home in Warsaw. They were both critical commentators of their socio-political and literary events of their time. The letters from the years 1941-1950 are unique and self-consciously literary documents of personal experience.
