Przybłęda. Swój jako obcy w pismach Józefa Ignacego Kraszewskiego (po roku 1863)

In Kraszewski’s times the term ”vagrant” becomes a stigmatizing label. It denotes the Poles who return to politically-oppressed Poland, only to suffer exclusion by their fellow countrymen, who see them as suspicious revolutionists. The writer demonstrates the intersection of Polish and foreign culture from his own position of loner and emigrant in Dresden while the country faces at the time the imminent prospect of territorial fragmentation. The article attempts to interpret the intricate mechanism of changes in Polish mentality and culture which Kraszewski identified as resulting from territorial partitioning of Poland.
