Quiet and quieting. The Young Poland elegy as a link of modernist history of the genre
Abstract
This dissertation shows synthetically the Young Poland elegy together with a proposal, due to
properties of aesthetics and subject matter of the typology of the genre in this epoch: 1. elegies of
the mood connected with the poetics of symbolism, which instead of a personal confession,
contain picturesque equivalents of "the condition of soul", 2. autobiographical elegies, among
them elegies of memories, 3. stylised elegies, consciously formed according to old genre models.
What has been emphasised is the importance of the genre and its unbroken continuity between
the 19th and 20th centuries. The most important role was played by the autobiographical elegy in
which Leśmian achieved mastery, which aimed from the personal confession to psychological
and epistemological discoveries. Staff's role is important as he practised all three kinds of elegy.
The wide-ranging phenomenon of elegiacness, occurring also in prose, has been signalled.
