Marta novel by Eliza Orzeszkowa

Marta novel by Polish 19th century writer Eliza Orzeszkowa translated by Anna Gasienica Byrcyn published Ohio University Press.

Ohio University Press has just published Marta, a pioneering feminist novel by 1905 Nobel Prize finalist Eliza Orzeszkowa, as part of its Polish and Polish-American Studies Series. The book is translated by Anna Gąsienica Byrcyn and Stephanie Kraft, with an introduction by Grażyna J. Kozaczka.

Of Orzeszkowa’s many works of social realism, Marta (1873) is among the best known, but until now it has not been available in English. Easily a peer of The Awakening and A Doll’s House, the novel was well ahead of the English literature of its time in attacking the ways the labor market failed women.

An excerpt and Grażyna J. Kozaczka’s introduction, including discussion questions, are available here: https://ohioswallow.com/extras/Marta_Excerpt.pdf
