Polish work of Józef Julian Sękowski – widely known as the Russian
prose writer and publisher of “Bibljotieka for Chteniya”. Contrary
to Mieczysław Inglot’s earlier findings, it was possible to show
that many unsigned articles published in the pages of “Bałamut”
in 1830–1836 came from Sękowski’s pen. They are an interesting
example of the continuation of the tradition of the “Cobblestone
News” circle, but, above all, they are evidence of their author’s
interest in the present day. As the research of Louis Pedrotti and
Melissa Frazier shows, Sękowski’s work can be treated as an intriguing
example of “romantic encounters” between the East and the
West, periphery and the center, tradition and modernity, and finally
literature and press. In turn, from the perspective of research on
the Polish 19th century, it can complement the Romantic canon
built on the “Mickiewiczian paradigm”. The presented article is also
a proposal to discuss the chances of publishing Sękowski’s Polish
works.
