Abstract

This article analyses the problem of attribution of the theatre vignette Evening: An Occasion in aTavern near Falkovičy based on well-known and more obscure publications. The hypothesis about H. Marcinkievič being the author of this play originally belongs to R.Ziamkievič. Although he did not have concrete proof of said authorship (the section titles of the play were wrongly indicated), he was earnest in sharing his hypothesis, as he informed F. Aliachnovič and A. Šlubski. M. Pijatuchovič, on the other hand, had adifferent outlook on the authorship of Evening.... In all fairness, he does not address the question of authorship at all in the prologue to his planned publications of A. Rypinski’s manuscripts, but it is likely that he mentioned during his lectures with Belarusian State University Students that the vignette was written by A. Viaryha-Dareŭski (we say this on the basis of later articles by A. Adamovič). M. Larčanka and L. Fihłoŭskaja, apparently lacking knowledge on A. Rypinski’s manuscripts, found the vignette in „Leningrad archives and libraries,” listed as written by Sazanovič. It is interesting that researchers have described the subject of the play in quite ageneral manner, as „the daily life of peasants under lordship,” which corresponds with the illustration of the text in the manuscripts of A. Rypinski. After the publication of Evening... in 1988, most researchers (V.Rahojša, H. Kisialioŭ, U. Marchel) have positioned themselves in favour of H. Marcinkievič’s authorship, even though V. Skałaban did propose not to rush to any final conclusions. The analysis of philological publications, the style of Polish-language works by H. Marcinkievič, as well as certain circumstances of literary life in Viciebsk between the end of the 1850s and the beginning of the 1860s allow us to voice some doubts about H. Marcinkievič being the actual author of Evening: An Occasion in aTavern near Falkovičyk. An equally likely author could be either A. Viaryha-Dareŭski or Sazanovič.
