Gracjan Pieszko

I have been a PhD student at the Doctoral School of the Pedagogical University of Krakow since October 2021. I write my PhD thesis in literature.

I graduated from Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz obtaining master’s degree in German Philology and bachelor’s degree in Administration Studies. Furthermore, I completed postgraduate studies for translators at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń.

My research interests concern medieval history and German and Polish contemporary literature. In my PhD thesis I focus on the motif of the knight in the newest German and Polish historical and fantasy novels published after 2000.
