ADAM MICKIEWICZ: Poet of Poland, a symposium, edited by Manfred Kridl, published by the Columbia University Press, in its Slavic Study Series, has just been issued. This volume relating to Poland's greatest poet consists of 292 pages. Although Mickiewicz is comparatively unknown to most Americans, the author's narrative poem "Pan Tadeusz" has been called by some critics the greatest narrative poem of the 19th century.

One of the chapters in this book "The Russians on Mickiewicz" is by John N. Washburn '45. Russia leads the world in the number of translations of Mickiewicz's works. He was very friendly with Pushkin and with other Russian writers. The Russians have been translating his work for over 125 years, and almost every Russian poet has come into contact somehow or other with his works. Everyone interested in Polish literature will find this a rewarding volume.
