Abstract
Zygmunt Wasilewski (1865–1948) was one of the leading Polish journalists of the first half of the twentieth century. He was editor-in-chief of many magazines and newspapers, including Głos (Voice), Słowo Polskie (Polish Word), Sprawa Polska (The Polish Question), Gazeta Warszawska (Warsaw Gazette), and Myśl Narodowa (National Thought). Politically, he was associated with the National Democracy party (Stronnictwo Narodowe). He sat on the executive committees of its successive political formations, and from 1930–1935, he was a member of the Polish Senate, representing the National Democracy party. In addition to his socio-political involvement, Wasilewski was active in the fields of literary criticism and history, regionalism, ethnography, and museology, as well as in the public sphere. He co-organised numerous commemorations of Polish cultural achievements, such as the construction of the Adam Mickiewicz monument in Warsaw. The Warsaw period of Wasilewski’s biography, alongside the Lvov period (1902–1915), was one of the most important in his life. At that time, the press titles he managed were among the most influential periodicals in Poland.
