The Roman Spring (Paperback)

Description

Wacław Kubacki’s play, The Roman Spring (1955), captures the friendship between Poland’s great poet, Adam Mickiewicz (1798–1855), and America’s first feminist and foreign war correspondent, Margaret Fuller (1810–1850). The setting is Rome, Italy, in the period of Europe’s widespread revolutions known as the Spring of Nations. Kubacki’s play, translated for the first time into English, celebrates two prominent intellectuals of the 19th century who became intimate friends. It offers a new and rare addition to these writers’ archives.
