Powieść Jana Rompskiego Wurvanô spjéva jako metafora projektu narodowego Zrzeszyńców

In 1943, the Kashubian writer Jan Rompski wrote a novel entitled Wurvanospjeva, which can be read as a metaphor for a national project aimed atKashubians, created by an intellectual circle of friends in the realities of theSecond Polish Republic in the 1930s. Jan Rompski was a co-founder and ideologist of the Zrzeszyncy ideological and literary group, which continued the traditions of the Kashubian movement with its roots dating back to the first half of the 19th century. This article is an attempt to answer the question of what were the pillars of the Zrzeszyncy project, as well as what were its basic assumptions that were to help create the image of the nation they felt they represented. It was also necessary to look at how Jan Rompski transferred these assumptions to the pages of the novel Wurvano spjeva. While analyzing the novel and journalistic texts of Zrzeszyncy, I used the method of critical discourse analysis. If the nation is a set of elements connected by some bonds, then what binds the Kashubians together are: language, culture and politics.
