Biography
Biography
He has been described as "the classical writer of Sorbian literature." • Illustration — Jakub Bart-Ćišinski • Illustration — Bust of Jakub Bart-Ćišinski in Panschwitz-Kuckau, Saxony 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.
