What do Jesuits have in common with spiders, flies, chameleons, owls, hawks, or Sirens?
Discover the provocative arguments, tropes, and figures that pervaded the anti-Jesuit literature of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (1576–1632). Anti-Jesuit Discourse in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth examines the structure and functions of these discursive elements, often reinforced by vivid metaphor, elaborate allegory, or malicious irony, through the lens of rhetorical strategies suitable for controversy, polemic, dispute, or parody. This dual focus, both structural and functional, enables the identification of the images, stereotypes, clichés, and legends associated with the Society of Jesus, many of which fueled and continue to fuel anti-Jesuit sentiment worldwide.

Essays Commemorating Szmul Zygielbojm
Author/Editor: Michael Fleming
This book brings together papers that were presented at a workshop in May 2018 to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of Szmul Zygielbojm’s protest suicide. The workshop was organised at The Polish University Abroad within the framework of an ongoing seminar series on twentieth century Polish history.5 The volume opens with a message from Zygielbojm’s grandsons, Dr Arthur I. Zygielbaum and Paul S. Zygielbaum, to participants of the workshop (see p. 11), in which they highlight the continuing relevance of their grandfather’s sacrifice (Michael Fleming, Introduction).
Grzegorz Moroz,A Generic History of Travel Writing in Anglophone and Polish Literature.Series:Textxet: Studies in Comparative Literature, Volume: 93
Author/Editor:
A Generic History of Travel Writing in Anglophone and Polish Literature offers a comprehensive, comparative and generic analysis of developments of travel writing in Anglophone and Polish literature from the Late Medieval Period to the twenty-first century. These developments are depicted in a wider context of travel narratives written in other European languages. Grzegorz Moroz convincingly argues that, for all the similarities and cross-cultural influences, in the course of the nineteenth and twentieth century non-fiction Anglophone and Polish travel writing have dynamically evolved different generic horizons of expectations. While the Anglophone travel book developed relatively steadily in that period, the Polish genre of the podróż was first replaced by the listy (kartki) z podróży, and then by the reportaż podróżniczy.
