TI - Two residents of Kremenets, Ukraine, Karol Sienkiewicz’s and Piotr Kopczyński’s fascination with material culture of Western Europe
AB - The paper, discussing the diaries of Karol Sienkiewicz and Piotr Kopczyński, presents their attitude to the material culture of Western Europe in the first three decades of the 19th century. Both men were graduates of the Volhynian Gimnazjum in Krzemieniec (Kremenets). They found themselves in the West for different reasons and in different times. Sienkiewicz, sent to England in 1821, was supposed to broaden his horizons and search for material connected with Poland. Kopczyński left for France in 1831 out of fear of repressive measures for the participation in the November Uprising. The article is supposed to show how the Kremenets-based education of both schoolmates influenced their perception of reality and attitude to material culture of France and England, changing because of the Industrial Revolution.
