Abstracts

EN

This article aims to show how the theme of education is developed by Eliza Orzeszkowa in herworks of fiction from the early 1880s. Two novellas from the cycle Z różnych sfer [From DifferentSpheres], namely Bańka mydlana [Soap-Bubble] and Widma, serve as a pretext for reflecting uponthe discussion about women’s education in which Orzeszkowa partakes, challenging the most significantstatements of the era. She does that because she notices the threat to the aesthetic and socialproject of positivist thinkers and realistic writers, the threat posed by the philosophy of individualismand self-determination.
