Teodor Jeske-Choiński (27 February 1854 – 14 April 1920) was a Polish intellectual, writer, historian and literary critic.
He was a friend as well as an opponent of Henryk Sienkiewicz. Sienkiewicz's novels were focused rather on Polish history, but Jeske-Choińskis looked at the broader European context. In 1900 he published Tiara i korona, a novel about the dispute between the Emperor Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII.[1]
Joanna Michlic named him "one of the leading theorists and exponents of Anti-Semitism in Poland".[2] In 1951, the communist censorship completely banned all books, which made him completely forgotten among Polish public.
