Juliusz Słowacki (4 September 1809–3 april 1849) was one of the most famous Polish romantic poets.

He is considered as the greatest Polish poet, besides Adam Mickiewicz and Zygmunt Krasiński.

Romantic poet and playwright came to be appreciated after his death for his skill with language and his lyric philosophic approach to reality. His work focused on the Romanticism of Northern Europe with the classic tradition of the South. In 1831, Słowacki emigrated as political refugee to Western Europe.
