The Example of the Smoleński Family from Grabienice Małe in the Second Half of the Nineteenth and in the Early Twentieth Century
Abstract
The Smoleński family from Grabienice Małe was a typical example of the passage from petty noble status to intelligentsia status in the second half of the nineteenth century. The political reality of partitioned Poland shaped a variety of patriotic attitudes among the emergent Polish intelligentsia. These ranged from insurrectionist activity in the first half of the nineteenth century to the implementation of positivist ideas in its second half, and cultural activity at the beginning of the twentieth century. The Smoleńskis’ understanding of patriotism as sound work at the grassroots as well as their spiritual abilities made them luminaries of Polish cultural life. From the viewpoint of inspiring patriotism, a special role was played by the historian and teacher Władysław Smoleński (1851–1926) – one of the most outstanding proponents of positivism in Warsaw.
