Marian Czuchnowski – rebel , revolutionary poet

The author presents the results of historical literary research on Marian Czuchnowski. Analysis of interviews and conversations with Czuchnowski show him to be a rebel and revolutionary poet. The author describes his turbulent life prior to 1939. During this time his concern for the people prompted him to call for mass gatherings in the countryside, for which he was frequently arrested. The author traces the development of his literary talent, starting with the rebellious poetry of his youth, and tracks his career through the 1930s. She discusses his cooperation with pre-World War Two publications and literary groups. She presents the wartime experiences of Czuchnowski, who left literary traces of his journey through Russian forced labour camps, Iran, Palestine and Egypt, to London. The author also examines the poet’s works to analyse his London period – initially filled with success, but becoming harder with time. The writer’s bibliography constitutes a valuable addition to the text
