Poetics and world view. On Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska's works
Abstract
Part ONE. This dissertation is devoted to the inspiration of Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska by
the philosophy of the East, which she got to know through Arthur Schopenhauer's writings. The
first part contains a description of the manner in which the poet interpreted the inconsistency of
the conception of the German philosopher who tried to combine in one all the elements of various
religious and philosophical trends coming from India. We can look on Maria Pawlikowska-
Jasnorzewska's works of the pre-World War II years as on a peculiar literary adaptation of these
various ideas, and, to be more exact, as on an attempt to construct such a poetic world in which
there might be a coordination between diverse currents determined by the Brahminian and the
Buddhist ideas. In Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska's early poems affirmation, paradox, (self/auto)irony
and degradation of loftiness are concurrent, which are characteristic of the Buddhist attitude to
the world and there is also avoidance of reflection of ethical nature so characteristic of Brahminism.
Par t tw o . In the second part of the dissertation on the influence of Indian philosophy on Maria
Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska's views, these elements of her writings are analysed (such as miniaturisation,
condensation, formal rigour, intellectualisation of lyricism), which reflected her way of
thinking. The description also contains the next stage of writing activity of the author of Krystalizacje
[Crystallisations] during which the poet gave up the affirmative amoralism, and in her poetry
occurred a confrontation of the negativist assumptions of Brahminism with the Buddhist
imperative of mercy. Along with the acceptance of the evaluative perspective in Pawlikowska-
Jasnorzewska's poetic diction elements of gnostic rhetoric began to appear in which she followed
Schopenhauer, and in her writings the process of "decay of the poetic form" began to be more
and more visible, which was described by critics, and which led through the poetics of a sketch
and fragment in her later prewar works to the notebook-like last recordings of the war period.
