Abstract
This article is devoted to Wladyslaw Konopczynski (1880–1952), one of the most distinguished Polish historians of the twentieth century, and his view of the role of Gdansk – the most powerful city in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth – in Poland’s history. The historian is shown to have held an ambivalent view of the city’s role in Polish history. Stressing the importance of Poland’s access to the sea and appreciating the city’s collaboration with the rest of the country, Konopczynski criticised what he considered to have been the symptoms of the city’s egoism.
