This book examines how Jesuit political, social, and polemical ideas functioned in seventeenth-century Poland-Lithuania through the case of Jan Chądzyński (c.1602-1660). It reconstructs his biography, establishes his dispersed and often misattributed writings, and analyzes his political and social treatises and anti-Protestant satires. Drawing on Jesuit archival records and textual analysis, the study situates Chądzyński's views on royal authority, noble liberty, social injustice, and Protestantism within the political debates of the Commonwealth and the wider framework of early modern Jesuit thought in Europe, while showing how local controversies in Vilnius shaped the form and aims of his writing.
Michal E. Nowakowski, Ph.D., is an assistant researcher in the Department of Early Modern Polish Literature at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Poland. His research focuses on Catholic-Protestant polemical literature, Jesuit political and social thought, and early modern diplomatic theory.
