Konrad Wallenrod

📘 Konrad Wallenrod is an 1828 narrative poem by the Polish-Lithuanian poet, publisher and political writer of the Romantic period, Adam Mickiewicz, which is set in the 14th-century Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The poem helped inspire the Polish November 1830 Uprising against Russian rule and although Mickiewicz later disparaged the work, its cultural influence in Poland persists. This English translation by Maude Ashurst Biggs was first published in 1882.
