Stefania Chłędowska – a forgotten short-story writer
Languages of publication
Abstracts
Literary work by Chłędowska, who was also an interesting literary critic, including 16 short stories, has never been highly valued by reviewers, and in the 20th century was dismissively depreciated as a kind of ‘salon-fashion’ literature. It is possible however, after a thorough examination of her well done pieces, to prove their thematic, genre as well as narrative qualities. These include, to name a few, genre syncretism, engaging narrative constructions, ironical-humorous distance which balances more traditional and sentimental predilections, or the skeptical presentation of tragicomic aspects of human existence. Both aesthetic and philosophical orientations of these short stories allow to place Chłędowska’s literary works in the context of Biedermeier tradition.
