Antanas Baranauskas (in Polish Antoni Baranowski); 1835-1902) was a Lithuanian-Polish poet, mathematician and a bishop of Sejny.
Biography
Barananauskas was born January 17, 1835 in the town of Anykščiai (Lithuania), to a humble peasant family of distant szlachta origin. Early in his youth his parents sent him to a local bi-yearly parochial school. After finishing his studies there, Baranauskas initially stayed in the parochy as a helper. After that he was sent to a bi-yearly school for communal writers in Rumyškiai. There he started writing his first poems in Polish language.
In 1853 he finished the school and started working as a writer and chancellor in various communes of the area. During his work he met Karolina Proniewska, a locally-renown writer, with whom he shared passion for the poetry of Adam Mickiewicz. With time, under notable influence of other notable Polish poet of the epoch, Juliusz Słowacki, Baranauskas poetry improved in style. Thanks to the friendship with Proniewska, in 1856 her family sponsored Baranauskas entry into Catholic seminary of Varniai.
It was there where Baranauskas started writing poems in Lithuanian language as well. One of his juvenile works he wrote during that time under notable influence of Mickiewicz, Anykščiu šilelis (Forest of Anykščiai), is considered to be one of the classics of Lithuanian poetry of 19th century.
