THE TAIPING IN POZNAŃ
In 1854, in the pages of Przegląd Poznański, a feature article ‘Tien-te and the Present Rebellion in China’ was published. It was dedicated to the Taiping great uprising that spread across China in the 19th century. This exceptional text, although forgotten today, constitutes a unique example of the Polish press interest in foreign events during the times of the partitions. For the next 150 years, no equally extensive material was published in Poland about this tragic war whose deadly toll was exceeded only by conflicts of the 20th century. The article, after being kept in libraries for many years, became again available due to digitisation, which prompted its analysis.
The book pursues three main goals: a closer look at the history of the Taiping Rebellion, providing readers with an original source text and the analysis of uprising origins and paths through which the information from China arrived in Polish lands. The first part of the publication comprises the text from Przegląd Poznański, updated for spelling and punctuation, but with maintaining the original page numbering. It is enriched with numerous substantive footnotes that are intended to facilitate the modern reader understanding of the historical context and correcting inaccuracies.
