This article discusses the poet's transformation of the devices and generic model of heroic epic for the double purpose of expressing a notion of historical time which holds out an open future for both the individual and the national community, and of promoting the acceptance of a complicated past through the resolution of its conflicts. Both in Poland and in Lithuania, Pan Tadeusz was regarded as a monumental tribute to the culture of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and a major influence on the modern national literatures in Lithuanian, Belarusian and Yiddish, sprouting on the territory of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Adam Mickiewicz’s „Pan Tadeusz” and the culture of remembrance}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/120139/PDF/2020-06-RL-01-Speicyte.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rl.2020.137199}, keywords={Polish literature of the 19th century, Lithuania, epic poetry and Romanticism, historical narrative, the culture of remembrance, Adam Mickiewicz (1798–1855)}, }
