Stanislaw Przybyszewski
(1868-1927) was a Polish writer, poet, essayist and playwright. He received
his education in Germany, graduating a gymnasium in Torun (then part of
Germany, but presently Poland) and studying medicine and architecture in
Berlin. He became caught up in the mainly North European Expressionist
movement and became one of its most prominent spokesmen with his dramatic
and provocative essays. In 1893, he married the Norwegian writer Dagny
Juel. He also served as editor of the "Gazeta Robotnicza", the Berlin-based
Polish-language socialist weekly, and "Zdroj", a Polish Expressionist
magazine. After Poland gained its independence in 1919, Przybyszewski went
to work for the newly-formed government.
