Teatr i szkoła w służbie społeczeństwa i państwa
Theatre and School in the Service of Society and State

Review: Jan Okoń, Wychowanie do społeczeństwa w teatrach szkolnych jezuitów w Rzeczypospolitej Obojga Narodów. Kraków (2018). „Biblioteka Tradycji”. Seria 2. Nr 157

Summary/Abstract: The review presents Jan Okoń’s monograph devoted to the activity of the Jesuit school theatres in the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania. Okoń proposes a view on the Jesuit theatre through the prism of its service to the society and the country. Richness of the material under analysis proves that the school theatre was much concerned about civil education and propagated the ideas of love of country and responsibility for common good. Okoń each time enriches his analyses with sketches presenting a rich cultural-social and political background of the times. The researcher also raises the issues connected with old literature, discusses the activities of Jesuit writers and men of letters—Jesuit college alumni. Multiplicity and diversity of the problems taken up and the author’s erudition make Okoń’s monograph worthy of attention in the field of science.
