Poland's Relationship to Western Culture c. 1900
In: Coexistence: a review of East-West and development issues, Band 32, Heft 1, S. 83-93
Abstract
Examines Poland's connection to Western culture, drawing on historical illustrations from the nineteenth & early twentieth centuries. Discussed are Polish feelings of belonging to West European culture, the characterization of Poland as a bridge between East & West Europe, Polish concerns over loss of national identity, & aspirations of building an independent, united Polish state. It is argued that the conviction of spiritual unity with the West prompted by the Catholic church was an important element in distinguishing Poland as a West European nation. S. Davies
