Kontakty listowne i kręgi korespondencyjne w podróżach edukacyjnych Rzewuskich na Podhorcach i Rozdole w XVIII w.
Epistolary contacts and correspondence circles in educational trips of the Rzewuski family in Podhorce and Rozdole in the 18th century

The epistolographic research reconnaissance

Summary/Abstract: The abundance of historical sources created in connection with educational trips of the Rzewuski family originating from the family line from Podhorce and Rozdół in the 18th century makes it possible to conduct research on diversified issued. It seems necessary to analyse the most abundant source, namely letters written during trips. Such an analysis will allow for establishment of a network of contacts made by the travellers. The concept of correspondence circles seems to be ideal for this purpose, as it makes it possible for us to place the Rzewuski family members travelling around Europe in a wider perspective. This, in turn, results in better descriptions of various dimensions of their trips, including educational, social, family-related, financial and even political dimensions.
