It is usually called 'Young Poland'. It was a fin de siecle artistic and literary movement analogous to late Nineteenth Century British Aestheticism, though there are marked differences - especially in the nationalistic and patriotic influence influenced by the partition of Poland. Kraków was the heart of Young Poland, however there was a presence in each zabór. The name is probably derived from the Young Germany movement, though some sources see a reference to Jugendstil which was at its height then. This may just be a happy coincidence.

Young Poland produced some of the country's best loved music, literature and fine art.Szymanowski, Malczewski,kasprowicz, Mehoffer, Wyspianski, Staff and Boy-Zelenski are heavily associated with Young Poland.

in 18. century

I don't think that there was Young Poland then. But in XIX and XX c. there were quite a few "Young Polands". There was "Young Poland" in literature, music, culture etc. in the end of XIXc. and begining of XX c. There was also political organisation "Young Poland" (Młoda Polska) established by emigrants (Poles) in Switzerland in 1834. This organisation was part of Mazzini's "Young Europe". The leader of that organisation was Karol Stolzman, partisan war theoretician. "Young Poles" took part in preparation to european revolution (future Europe Spring in 1846-8).
