High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Juliusz SACowacki Polish pronunciation 4 September 1809 - 3 April 1849 was a Polish Romantic poet, considered to be one of the Three Bards of Polish literature. His works often feature elements of Slavic pagan traditions, mysticism and Orientalism. SACowacki was born at Kremenets (Krzemieniec), Volhynia, Russian Empire, now in Ukraine. Influenced largely by Byron and Shakespeare, SACowacki's early work was often historical in nature, combining exotic locales (as in Arab) and tragedy (as in Maria Stuart). His work took on a more patriotic tone following the failed November Insurrection of 1830 - 1831. Like many of his countrymen, he decided to emigrate to France as a political refugee. Ironically, the first collections of poems he produced in France were unpopular in his native Poland, as they failed to capture the sentiment of the people living under Russian occupation. It was the French authorities which deemed them too nationalist; following a trip to Geneva in 1832, he was denied the right to return to France as part of a larger program to rid the country of the potentially subversive Polish exiles who had settled there.
