dialect - Opis:
- During the first decades of the XX century the myth of idyllic pre-war countryside was strong in Poland and such reminiscences of the abandoned homeland were especially important for Polish exiles after The World War II. One of them was Jerzy Pietrkiewicz who described the Dobrzyn Land in his novel in English The Knotted Cord, published in Great Britain in 1953. A particularly interesting aspect of the book is the way the author incorporated the elements of the Polish rural dialect and culture into the book addressed to the British recipient. The aim of the article is to analyse the author’s literary experiment based on the insertion of many Polish words into the English text. The main objective of the analysis is to view how Pietrkiewicz represented his homeland and identify the reasons why the book appeared to be successful.
