SŁOWACKI Juliusz - Lilla Weneda, a tragedy in five acts (illustrations by A.M. ANDRIOLLI)

In "Lilia Weneda," as in "Balladyna," Słowacki reached back to the prehistory of Poland, which the science of history could not yet put into a fully scientific system. However, he reached farther into the past than in "Balladyna," namely to the period of the birth of Polish statehood, and in a poetic portrayal of those times gave a peculiar solution to the question of the rise of the Polish nobility and its role in the history of the old Polish state.
