A comprehensive account of British–Polish literary interactions before the Enlightenment, The Call of Albion presents a compelling portrayal of how key publications by British Protestants and Catholics were transmitted, translated, and recontextualized in Poland–Lithuania, serving both Calvinist and Jesuit agendas.

An in-depth look at British–Polish literary pre-Enlightenment contacts, The Call of Albion explores how the reverberations of British religious upheavals in distant Poland–Lithuania surprisingly served to strengthen the impact of English, Scottish, and Welsh works on Polish literature. This book argues that Jesuits played a key role in that process. It provides an insightful account of how the transmission, translation, and recontextualization of key publications by British Protestants and Catholics served Calvinist and Jesuit agendas, while occasionally bypassing barriers between confessionally defined textual communities and inspiring Polish–Lithuanian political thought, as well as literary tastes.

Mirosława Hanusiewicz-Lavallee, Ph.D. (Catholic University of Lublin, Poland, 1992) is professor of early modern Polish literature at the Catholic University of Lublin. In addition to four monographs on Polish literature and culture, she has edited or co-edited ten further volumes, most recently Defining the Identity of the Younger Europe (Brill, 2023).
