Zygmunt Krasiński (1812 - 1859) is traditionally ranked with Mickiewicz and Słowacki as one of Poland's great romantic poets, dramatists and writers.
He is more sociopolitically conservative than the other two. Krasiński is best known for his philosophical messianic The Dawn and his dramas: Un-divine Comedy , portrays the tragedy of old-world aristocracy defeated by the new democracy; and Irydion (in the context of Christian ethic) deals with the problem of the struggle of a subjugated nation against the oppressor.
