Adam Bernard Mickiewicz ([mit͡sˈkʲɛvit͡ʂ] ⓘ; 24 December 1798 – 26 November 1855) was a Lithuanian[1][2] poet,


How is he considered Polish - and not of Lithuanian or even Belorussian descent. He states that Lithuania is his homeland/country in Pan Tadeuz, he is from an old Lithuanian noble family in Navahrudak. He also spent his early life studying in Lithuania - studied in Vilnius university and later taught as a secondary school teacher in Kaunas. He never even stepped foot in Krakow or Warsaw, most parts of modern day Poland.

His Lithuania was the Great Dutchy, not the modern one. He wrote Polish, like Joseph Conrad wrote English. Xx236 (talk) 09:09, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Franciszek Hieronim Malewski (1800 - 1870). A very important friend of, and influential figure to Adam Mickiewicz. l[edit]

Franciszek Malewski's role in discovering early , guiding, and shaping Adam Mickiewicz's development as a bard and poet cannot be over-emphasised. Franciszek Malewski, was himself an eminent lawyer , and accomplished 'political 'organiser. The son of Szymon Malewski , Rector of Wilno University, Franciszek Malewski, an authority on Schiller's romanticism, was the first to recognise and acclaim Mickiewicz's "Ode to Youth".

The two Adam Mickiewicz, and Francziszek Malewski together studied under the philosopher Hegel in Berlin. The two met with and befriended Russian author Aleksander Pushkin. They married respectively the two Szymanowska sisters: Franciszek Malewski pairing with Helena Szymanowsk the daughter of the accomplished pianist Maria Szymanwska , and Adam Mickiewicz marrying Helena's sister, Celina Szymanowska.

Wikipedia on 1st October 2014 says that Franciszek Malewski was for the young Adam Mickiewicz "an enormous moral and literary authority. Mieczyslaw Jastrun, in his notable biography of Adam Mickiewicz (1949), writes that when it came to organising the scholarly entity/circle , "Filomaci" , Franciszek Malewski out of the whole group: "towered above everyone as a very able lawyer, with his wise, and clear thinking..." (page 26).

Franciszek Malewski had a daughter also named Maria. Maria Malewska was to marry Adam Mickiewicz'a son Wladyslaw Mickiewicz who saved, and edited much of Franciszek Malewski's correspondence and writings.

Adam Mickiewicz dedicated a rather obscure and convoluted poem to Franciszek Malewski entitled "Warcaby " ,(Draughts) (1812).

False info in article, denial of French writings[edit]

The Ethnicity subheading falsely states that Mickiewicz wrote only in Polish. He wrote extensively in French: La Tribune des Peuples and several books ([1]). Mickiewicz was a great person, great enough he is shared between cultures and belongs to several (Belarusian, Lithuanian, Polish).--Ada's gaze (talk) 19:51, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a reference that he wrote in French, it can be added to the article, but this has nothing to do with his ethnicity. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:51, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I posted a reference for French ([2]), and there are many more references for French already in the article. Saying he only wrote in Polish is a lie. And what does writing in Polish have to do with his ethnicity? And if it has something to do with his ethnicity, isn't the fact that in Warsaw he was criticised in his early career for his provincial Belarusian-tinged Polish relevant? ([3]).--Ada's gaze (talk) 06:07, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
