The Fake Diary of a Historical Figure: Klementyna Tańska-Hoffmanowa’s Journal of Countess Françoise Krasińska (1825)
No full textThis paper discusses a somewhat forgotten diary novel by the first Polish woman writer and educator to make a living from creative writing, Klementyna Tańska-Hoffmanowa (1798–1845). The Journal of Countess Françoise Krasińska (1825) was one of her early works, designed for adolescent readers (first serialised in Rozrywki [Amusements], a youth magazine which she had started but a year earlier). Françoise (Polish: Franciszka) Krasińska was a historical character: born into a Polish aristocratic family of the Corvin-Krasińskis in 1742, she set her mind on rising above the social station originally allocated to her. Around fifteen, she met Royal Prince Charles (Karl) Christian Joseph of Saxony. They were secretly married on March 25, 1760. This morganatic marriage spelled years of solitude, financial straits and emotional imbalance for Krasińska. The spouses were not to be reunited until over a decade after the wedding. The long separation was largely due to the character of the Prince, who had hoped to become King of Poland, which however never materialised. They had only one daughter, Princess Maria Christina of Saxony, who in due course became the grandmother of Victor Emanuel II, the first king of united Italy. Hoffmanowa’s novel, begun as a project aimed to educate young girls in modesty and other traditional feminine virtues, soon became a tour-de-force of fake diarising, the first ever psychologically complex presentation of the workings of a young girl’s mind in Polish literature. The diary was rendered so convincingly that it was for decades taken as a transcript of a real journal (hence its several translations into Western languages). Yet it is now quite clear that the novelist produced her manuscript on the basis of genuine correspondence of Françoise Krasińska, to which she had unrestricted access, and historical newspaper accounts, but not a journal as it had never existed. In my paper, I wish to discuss the Journal’s precarious balance between historical fact and fiction as well as examining the ways in which this autobiographical forgery is enacted.This paper discusses a somewhat forgotten diary novel by the first Polish woman writer and educator to make a living from creative writing, Klementyna Tańska-Hoffmanowa (1798–1845).

PROPOSAL OF CRITERIA FOR THE QUALITY OF T RAIN CONNECTION ASSES ON ŽSR NETWORK
No full textCieľom príspevku je načrtnúť novú metodiku pre hodnotenie GVD v osobnej preprave z hľadiska prípojovosti a spojenia. Z pohľadu cestujúceho je potrebné hodnotiť dostupnosť príležitostí cestovať medzi vybranými miestami na sieti železníc. Ponuku prepravy z miesta A do miesta B v zásade ovplyvňuje čas prepravy, počet prestupov, počet cestovných príležitostí. Na prípoje a na spojenie má teda vplyv viacero faktorov. To je východiskom pri vypracovaní návrhu súboru hodnotiacich kritérií hodnotenia prípojovostiThe aim of this paper is to outline a new methodology for assessing of timetable in passenger traffic in terms of connections and links. In terms of passenger it needs to assess the availability of opportunities to travel between selected points on the rail network. Transportation time, number of transfers, the number of travel opportunities affect offer of transportation from point A to point B in principle . The possibilities of connection are thus influenced by a number of factors. This paper starts to draft a set of evaluation criteria for connections asses

Ana Castillo’s Appropriation of the Family Saga in So Far From God
No full textAna Castillo’s most critically acclaimed novel So Far From God (1993) can be considered a recent example of the family saga genre, as it reports the life story of Sofi and her four daughters. However, rather than concentrating on an upper-middle-class white family in a patriarchal setting, Castillo has appropriated the established genre to write a text of Chicana resistance, portraying working-class women as the bearers of spiritual values and social progress. Thus, the focus shifts from male to female characters, who are seen as powerful and independent rather than dominated by men; in fact, Sofi’s husband is absent for the most of his daughters’ lives. In turn, while all the traditional themes of family sagas, such as the history of a family depicted through several generations as well as romance and marriage, are present in the text, they are depicted in a new context. Finally, instead of portraying the family as striving to use money and property as a means of social advancement, Castillo shows the majority of her characters as caring about their wider community. Thus, this paper seeks to examine more closely which particular changes the author has made within the set of the genre’s conventions
Leonard Cohen: The Modern Troubadour
No full textThe following essay portrays parallels between the work of a contemporary singer-songwriter and author Leonard Cohen and the medieval Occitan troubadours. The main focus is put on the importance of the feminine character in their works. This character is often discouraging to any close intimacies – as far as the world of literature is concerned – but the singers are subjected / subject themselves to persistence in its worship. The paper does not want to prove any direct relatedness, but to highlight the importance of the tradition of the troubadour song and its echoes in the popular culture as we know it
