The Memoirs of Soplica spawned a large number of followers and thus popularized the genre of gawęda szlachecka. In particular, it impressed Adam Mickiewicz so that he created his own szlachta story, Pan Tadeusz, in which the main character belongs to the fictional Soplica family, the name borrowed from Rzewuski .Andrzej Waśko, "Pamiątki Soplicy na tle programowych wypowiedzi Henryka Rzewuskiego", 82/1, 60-85, 1991.
