The play itself explores the brutal class struggle, juxtaposing aristocratic decline with a ruthless social revolution. Working with Harriette Kennedy, Zofia Umińska helped create a translation that conveyed the poetic intensity of the Polish original to a British audience.
This rare edition represents one of the most outstanding historical attempts to introduce Polish Romanticism to the English-speaking world.
This specific 1924 London edition includes a foreword by the famous English writer G.K. Chesterton and an introduction by Artur Górski.
