Item Spór o nowy „dramat narodowy”. Jeden wątek dyskusji o „Rachunkach” J.I. Kraszewskiego(2024) Kowalczuk, Urszula; Panek, SylwiaThe ‘national drama’ highlighted in the title is the particular authorial proposition on the part of Józef Szujski and at the same time, a capacious metaphor for the so-called Polish experience of the 19th century and earlier, which can be gleaned from the polemicists’ statements. The subject of the discussion is as much obvious as it is difficult to grasp, because the main course of the polemic and its seemingly side currents changed rank and location in relation to each other. Moreover, in the proposed approach, the articles, linked by intersecting issues, constitute a (relatively) autonomous part within an immeasurably larger whole, comprising critical reactions to Józef Ignacy Kraszewski’s Rachunki. The main adversaries in the dispute were note bene the above well-known writer and Szujski, with Stanisław Tarnowski seconding them. The chronological framework of their statements is set by the years 1866–1869, while the historical and cultural context is the post-January Uprising in Poland and in exile, as well as the changes taking place in the first years of Galician autonomy.Item Wartościowanie poezji w "Zarysie literatury polskiej z ostatnich lat szesnastu" Piotra Chmielowskiego. Kilka punktów widzenia(2012) Kowalczuk, UrszulaThe article analyses the mode of establishing and recording the process of poetry valuation in "Zarys literatury polskiej z ostatnich lat szesnastu" [An outline of the literature of the last sixteen years] written by Piotr Chmielowski, as well as the textual strategies of the author that modeled the transformations in the discourse of the author. It is proved in the article that in the Chmielowski’s disquisitions the problem of evaluation is just as important as the evaluation as a problem. The evaluation of poetry conducted by the critic was an element of self-identification of the generation of ”young poets” that he himself represented, as well as a proof for their longing for grand poetry, discomfort resulting from lack of authority figures and difficulties in expressing one’s own or/and national suffering. The use of the so-called ”argument of poetry” has been recognized here as a distinctive feature of Chmielowski’s idiolect that serves to dynamize his critical writings.
