This article attempts to present an overall view of the literary criticism of Karol Ludwik Koninski (1891-1943), author of interesting short stories, journals, and meditations, in the context of contemporary critical tendencies and trends. It focuses on his criticism of individual works and his some of his discussions of topical literary subjects. Koninski, it appears, was a remarkably independent mind, whose progress can be traced from his Young Poland juvenilia to the sophisticated studies written in the 1920s. This article tries to establish to what extent his critical opinions reflect the thinking of the period in which they were formulated and to what extent they are the product of his own reflection and revision. His critical path led from the subjectivism of the Young Poland movement to a science-inspired mode of analysis popular in the interwar years and, finally, to a position with a strong moral and metaphysical orientation, characteristic of some critical discourses of the late 1930s.K
