Abstract

This article discusses patriotic issues in the works of Juliusz Słowacki. It focuses on the texts
devoted to the November Uprising. The poet’s early (youthful) works, including the very first ones,
in which he showed ways of regaining independence, are subjected to interpretation. In these works,
Słowacki writes about his love for his homeland, and thus they are testimony to his patriotic feelings.
The poet demands that the nation undergo a transformation. The independence of Poland is
his poetic dream. Słowacki takes up the subject of important historical events and recalls the figures
of heroes fighting for a free homeland. The resurrection of the nation is Słowacki’s poetic dream.
