Zapomniany dramat o arianach

Arians, called in the 17th c. Socynians or Polish Brethren, made a radical fraction of the Polish Reformation. For that reason they were liked neither by schismatics nor by Catholics. They were quite commonly reproached with rejection of faith into the Holy Trinity and with being sympathetic with the protestant Sweden. By the decline of the 19th c. their rehabilitation is observed, which is mirrored in the belles-lettres. One of its manifestations is Ludwika Dobrzyńska-Rybicka’s drama first staged in 1901 in Poznań. This literarily poor piece awaited no further performances. Its main protagonist Zygmunt Taszycki was more accurately known only in a narrow circle of fellow believers. The figure, however, is worthy of notice.
