	Among the Slavic stories from the Lesser Poland cycle, story about Wanda left its mark in Polish literature the most. From the moment Tekla Łubieńska won the national tragedy competition in 1803, the fashion began for texts about the legendary queen and a period of increased activity of writers creating dramas based on the Polish history. Among the series of tragedies based on the mention of Krak’s daughter Wanda, Adam Rościszewski deserves special attention. The article focuses on Rościszewski’s reinterpretation of the history of Wanda, which is distinguished by the way of portraying the Kraków ruler and the modifications made to the love thread introduced by Łubieńska.
