Ignacy Maciejowski (pseudonyms: Sewer , Gryf ; born July 7, 1835 in Sandomierz , † September 22, 1901 in Krakow ) was a Polish writer, playwright and literary critic.
Maciejowski took part in the Polish January uprising and was therefore imprisoned in Austria from 1864 to 1865. He then went into exile and lived in London from 1875 to 1878 . In 1878 he returned to Poland and managed an estate. From 1894 he ran a house in Krakow, where the prominent artists and writers of Poland met.
He made his debut as a writer in 1875 with sketches from England. In later works he described rural life in Poland, cultivating the myth of the “Holy Land”, but also not turning a blind eye to the need and poverty of the Galician farmers. The novels Biedronie (1896), Bajecznie kolorowa and Matka (both 1898) became famous . A twelve-volume edition was published in 1902, two more in 1946–48 and 1955. In 1957 the Miscellanea literackie 1864–1910 was published.
