Product description

Author: Jarosław Pietrzak

Katarzyna Radziwiłł née Sobieska, sister of King Jan III, was an extraordinary person, active in the family circle and in the public sphere, patron of artists and founder of numerous works of art. Jarosław Pietrzak's book excellently and multi-dimensionally presents the figure of the magnate against the background of changing political, socio-economic conditions and moral changes in the 17th century, while referring to the experiences of women belonging to her social group. The author used Lithuanian, Roman, Ukrainian, Belarusian, French and – to a large extent – Polish archives, thanks to which the first biography of Katarzyna Radziwiłł née Sobieska presented to the reader is cognitively valuable, mature in terms of technique, and at the same time highly engaging.
