The book, based on the author's PhD thesis, is the first instalment of the "Eastern European Culture, Politics and Societies" series and it concentrates on three main problems: the presence of Italian models in the Polish search for reconstructing the Polish nation, the impact of successful Italian unification on Polish elites and their national identity-making and, finally, the relationship between nationalism and religion. These issues are discussed in three parts, each one dealing with "different national strategies which were drawn from the Italian example" (p. 45). Although Jurek's work is not the first dealing with this subject, it presents the most complex picture of these contacts.}, language = {en} } @misc{Cybowski2016, author = {Cybowski, Milosz K.}, title = {Review: "The Anonymous Poet of Poland.
