Abstract
This article deals with the problem of representing prominent historical figures in selected biographical works by Walerian Kalinka and Adam Skalkowski. The author’s concern is with demonstrating how changing narrative strategies were used by these scholars to represent national heroes and what influence their general vision of history exerted upon the way in which they created particular historical portraits. A separate strand of analysis concerns the historical figures’ private memory, shaped through family interactions, and the influence it exerted upon the creation of their official biographies.
