Oneof them was Jerzy Pietrkiewicz who described the Dobrzyn Land in his novel in English The Knotted Cord, publishedin Great Britain in 1953. A particularly interesting aspect of the book is the way the author incorporated the elementsof the Polish rural dialect and culture into the book addressed to the British recipient. The aim of the article is toanalyse the author’s literary experiment based on the insertion of many Polish words into the English text. The mainobjective of the analysis is to view how Pietrkiewicz represented his homeland and identify the reasons why thebook appeared to be successful.}, type={text}, title={Polish Rural Dialect and Culture of the Dobrzyń Region in Jerzy Pietrkiewicz’s Novel "The Knotted Cord"}, keywords={The Knotted Cord, rural, folklore, dialect}, }
