of the program of the  Execu-tion of the Laws by the medium gentry from 1525 onward.Demandsarose for the redistribution of lands held by the church and the great, es-pecially court, magnates.A premonition of future developments inPoland s history was that the first rokosz occurred in 1537, although therevolt was resolved by a compromise.Zygmunt was, however, blessedwith a series of short-term foreign policy successes.In 1515 he estab-lished an alliance with the Habsburgs.This eventually ceded them thethrones of Bohemia and Hungary.But it allowed Zygmunt to forcethe Teutonic Knights into establishing a secular state in Prussia forwhich they paid the Prussian Homage to the Polish crown in 1525.Thefollowing year, when the local dynasty died out, he incorporated Ma-zowsze into Poland.Despite the growing political and social conflicts of his time, Zyg-munt s reign was the Golden Age of Renaissance arts and culture inPoland.This continued during the reign of his son

233Select BibliographyINTRODUCTIONThere is an enormous literature in English on Poland, so the bibliographyhas had to be highly selective.The emphasis has been placed on the mostrecent books on Poland s history as well as on its development since WorldWar II.The sections on culture, geography, and socioeconomic aspects andthe like have largely been designed to provide indicators for further read-ing as well as to convey some of the flavor of the subject.Unlike the dic-tionaries on some African and Asian countries, this volume, on an advancedEuropean nation and civilization with an extremely rich and diverse histor-ical experience as well as a turbulent present, has had to be somewhat morelimited in the scope of its coverage.It is designed, however, to provide aguide as to how the reader should dig deeper into the crucial historical andpolitical aspects.The most useful general bibliographies, listed in the general referencesection, include the following.August Kanka, Poland.An Annotated Bibli-ography of Books in English, provides a large number of titles, but itscoverage is thinly spread throughout the 20th century and even earlier.Thevolumes on Poland by Richard Lewanski, George Sanford, and AdrianaGozdecka-Sanford, in the Clio World Bibliographical series, are more up todate and provide authoritative comment in their annotations [ Pobierz caÅ‚ość w formacie
