In search of perfect Slavs – about belligerence and pacifism as national traits in the investigations of Polish historiography in the 19th century
Abstract: The article presents the formation of two different stereotypes of the ancient Slavs – as a warlike people and pacifist. Based on the Polish historiog-raphy of the nineteenth century, it was shown how the appropriate stereotype was used in the historiographic or literary representation of the ancient Slavs. The starting point for the consideration of many historians were numerous historical sources from the 6th–7th century, showing the Slavs as a belligerent, as well as one information about the peaceful attitude of this people. And it was the message of Theophylact Simocatta that won the recognition of many re-searchers living in the 18th and 19th centuries, who inscribed it in the romantic vision of Slavs based on J. G. Herder’s historiosophy. The article refers to oppo-site theories of Alexander Sapieha or Jan Paweł Woronicz. An attempt was also made to reconcile two opposing visions of the ancient Slavs in the theory of conquest, commonly accepted in the 19th century.
Keywords: Historiography, Slavs, national stereotypes, theory of conquest.
