dc.description.abstract | The article discusses the cultural-scientific heritage of Vilnius in the years 1905–1926 as
preserved in ideonyms and chrematonyms that can be found in the 1926 issue of “Literary
Almanac”.
The onyms co-create six complementary thematic circles represented by:
a) titles of literary works: ”Żerowisko litewskie” (Napoleon Rouba), “Cichy bohater”
(Ludwika Życka), “Wspomnienie z lat gimnazjalnych” (Ludwik Czarkowski),
b) titles of periodicals: “Ateneum Wileńskie”, “Gazeta Codzienna”, “Kwartalnik Litewski”,
“Kresy”,
c) names of cultural-scientific societies and institutions: Towarzystwo Miłośników Wilna,
Wileńskie Koło Związku Bibliotekarzy Polskich, Oddział Sztuki w Urzędzie Delegata Rządu
w Wilnie,
d) names of Vilnius theatres: Wileńska Lutnia, Teatr Polski na Pohulance, Polski Teatr
Ludowy imienia Syrokomli, Teatr Żołnierski,
e) titles of plays staged there: “Dziady”, “Balladyna”, “Mazepa”, “Barbara”.
A thorough analysis and interpretation of these linguistic testimonies makes it possible to
polemicize with Andrzej Zawada’s thesis, according to which from 1905 to 1926 Vilnius was
an “intellectual province”. | en_EN |
