(20 August 1856 in
Kuckau
? 16 October 1909 in
Panschwitz
), also known as
Łu?i?an
,
Jakub Bart Kukowski
, was a
Sorbian
poet, writer and playwright, translator of
Czech
,
Polish
,
Italian
and
German literature
. He produced his works in
Upper Sorbian
. He is also an inventor of modern Upper Sorbian poetic language. He has been described as "the classical writer of Sorbian literature."
[1]
As a Sorbian writer, he felt that writing the Sorbian language and using it for literature and for education would be important for preserving the vitality and distinctiveness of Sorbian culture. But he also realized that it was a double-edged sword, in that education would reduce the isolation of Sorbian culture, making it more vulnerable to outside (mostly German) influence.
