Off-topic - Poland-Lithuania

Salvete,

I realise this is extremely off-topic, but I'm getting somewhat infuriated. I've decided, in my unique way, that I don't know nearly enough about the Polish Empire. But English historians, it would appear, care little for this subject. I've searched the internet, I've searched the libraries, and I've searched the bookshops. And apart from a bland list of monarchs, I've found *nothing*.

So does anyone here know of anywhere I could read of more about the Polish Empire, especially at the height of its power?

Many thanks!

Bene valete,

Salve Curio!

From our University's Slavic department:
infoseek.icm.edu.pl : very good search engine on Poland
www.wp.pl/ : Wirtualna Polska, Polish search engine (very slow)
pl-info.com : Polish search engine
www.zem.co.uk/polish : short collection of good links on Poland
www.encyklopedia.pl/ : free Polish encyclopedia
www.insidepoland.com : Many links
www.bg.atr.bydgoszcz.pl/bibl_www.html : links to all Polish libraries

From these links I came across these sites:
http://www.kasprzyk.demon.co.uk/www/HistoryPolska.html
http://ciesin.ci.uw.edu.pl/poland/polhistory.html


You can always send an email to a university professor to ask for more information; most of the time they are glad to help.

Vale bene
