Biography
Tański was born in the moderately rich noble family.[1] He received education from Collegium Nobilium in Warsaw[2] and worked as a Police Department clerk next to the Permanent Council and as a secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland. After 1795 he settled down in Puławy to work as a secretary of Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski.[3]
He created sentimental, occasional poems, stage pastorals and comedies (for example Dobrogost, first performed in 1801 or 1802). Tański is also an author of the opera I plotka czasem się przyda (first performed in 1802, with music by Wincenty Ferdynand Lessel). He died in 1805. The collective edition of his works titled Wiersze i pisma różne was published three years after his death, in 1808.
