Рамантычны фалькларызм Адама Мiцкевiча i Яна Баршчэўскага: пераемнасць i творчае развiццë (да 170-цi годдзя з дня развiтання з Янам Баршчэўскiм)

The article studies similarities and differences in Adam Mitskevich’s and Jan Barshchevski’s methods and creative approaches. Special attention is paid to folklorism in the writers’ works. The author of the article conducts a comparative analysis of Jan Barshchevski’s poem Sierota (The Orphan) and the collection of stories Szlachcic Zawalnia, czyli Białoruś w fantastycznych opowiadaniach (Nobleman Zawalnia, or Belarus in Fantastic Stories) to the poem Dziady (Forefathers) by Adam Mickiewicz. An undoubtedly successful innovation of Jan Barshchevski was the transfer of romantic folklorism into prose. This allowed the writer to create vivid and exciting pictures of life and moral world of Belarusians. The article is devoted to the 170th anniversary of Jan Barshchevski’s farewell ceremony.
