Dramatic works – comedies and dramas

Overview & Synopsis

The publication constitutes a critical edition complemented with an introduction to the three comedies and two dramas by Wincenty Ignacy Marewicz (1755–1822) – a poet, prose writer, publicist, playwright and actor. It is the first modern edition of these dramatic works since their first publication in the late 18-th century. The introduction focuses on the publications and theatrical performances of the edited dramas, the author's inscriptions included in them. It also presents the main themes and subjects of these works, and highlights their theatrical and moral values. The editorial part of the study includes comedy and drama texts as well as commentaries. This is a subsequent book published as a result of research covered by an individual grant from the National Science Center in Krakow.
