Özet:

The aim of this article is to present printing firms of Polish books published in the Prussian partitioning zone which have been addressed to young readers, and determinate what and how many of these books were made available to juvenile. The article is composed of three parts. The first part, that includes a presentation of the publishing milieu in Poznań and Wrocław, discusses the quantitative and qualitative structure of the relevant publishing production in these main printing centres. The second part concerns Polish books for children published in the provincial town-based firms in the other parts of Prussian occupying zone. The third part deals with describing the history of the publishing houses in emigration centres (Leipzig, Dresden) as well as children’s literature published there. Despite the restrictive censorship, bitter repression and enforced Germanization, the nineteenth century editors of Polish books and periodicals undertook the effort of raising the level of juvenile’s education and maintain the national consciousness among the young Poles living in the region under Prussian rule.
