"The book consists of articles discussing Wojciech Bogusławski's artistic work in Warsaw, Lvow, Vilnius, Kalisz, Poznań and Gdańsk. The authors present in their theses multifaceted circumstances of Bogusławski's theatrical tours such as social, political, economic and aesthetic. A biography and achievements of 'the Father of Polish Theatre' became in this book a pretext for reflections on Polish stage at the end of the 18th century and the befinning of the 19th century"--T.p. verso.
