InPolish poetry, theUkrainian school were a group ofRomantic poets of the early 19th century who hailed from the southeastern fringes of the Polish-inhabited lands of the time (this period followed thepartition of thePolish–Lithuanian Commonwealth; today mostly part ofUkraine).[1][2] The poets—Antoni Malczewski,Józef Bohdan Zaleski,Tomasz Padura,Aleksander Groza andSeweryn Goszczyński—produced a distinct style ofPolish Romanticism through the incorporation of Ukrainian life, landscapes, history, political events, and folklore into their works.[1] They in turn influenced both Lithuanian and Ukrainian Romantic poetry, and, along with other Polish poets, constituted a link between the various literatures of the post-partition Commonwealth.[2]
