Letters of Aniela Aszperger to the Młodnicki Family
Abstract
This is an edition of previously unpublished letters written by actress Aniela Aszperger (1816–1904) to Wanda and Karol Młodnicki and to their daughter, Maryla Wolska. The letters, covering the years 1874–1901, come from the Home Archive of the Pawlikowskis, now in the collection of the Jagiellonian Library. The correspondence contains much information relating to the realities of Aniela Aszperger’s life, reveals her character traits and personality, which may come in handy in interpreting her acting. The letters are also a valuable document of an artistic friendship. The correspondence is prefaced with a biographical note on Aszperger, who debuted in 1835 in Warsaw, but for most of her professional life was associated with Lemberg (Lwów), for a number of years being the toast of the stage at the Skarbkowski Theatre. Being active in the social and political life of the city, she became a living legend. The biographical note brings a number of new findings and clarifies some details of fact.Keywords:
