The author presents a glossary for Wanda Melcer-Rutkowska’s biography, which draws on her social and literary activity in the context of cultural trans-formations at the beginning of the 20th century. Moreover, the author clearly outlines Melcer Rutkowska’s active engagement in a variety of initiatives intended to revolutionise the realm of customs and art. The article draws on the literary output of the author of Miasto zwierząt, indicating the impact it had during the interwar years. Special attention is paid to the forgotten poetry which was eventually included in a compilation of previously printed volumes and those poems which had been formally scattered throughout the press. Two aspects of Melcer-Rutkowska’s literary work were primarily analysed: feministic and avant-garde.

The article analyses The New Comenius, a work by a little-known 19th-century Polish writer, Jan Mieroszewski. The title itself indicates a connection with the works by John Amos Comenius due to the appellativization of the scientist’s name. The author lists multiple affinities in the content, composition and form of the Polish "Comenius" with Orbis Pictus and other works by the outstanding Czech educator, and above all, with his idea of pansophism. He mentions the illustrative method of transferring knowledge and the encyclopaedic tendency to collect and systematize it. At the same time, he proves that Comenius' concepts influenced the development of the Polish prose of the seventeenth century, which assumed the silvic formula of a collection of varieties useful in the lives of educated people. Mieroszewski's book is a continuation of this trend of writing, which combined genealogically contradictory patterns of silva rerum and the encyclopaedia. Despite its literary nature, it retains the value of a textbook or lexicon, which was intended to convey wisdom in a universal dimension, relating to the spheres of self-knowledge, the world of universal and transcendent things, as Comenius had assumed. Undoubtedly, the analysed text confirms the viability of the scholar's concept in the Polish intellectual and literary culture of the nineteenth century.

In his article, the author discusses the problem of youth that occurs in the poetry of Polish avant-garde poets. On the example of the interwar poems of Anatol Stern and Czesław Miłosz among others the researcher shows the functioning of the two major variants of the paradigm of youth in this poetry. The first one is related to the creation of youth as the ruthless force that forms new laws and qualities of life. The poets of the Second Avant-Garde present another model of youth in their works. The age of adolescence becomes a pretext for them to verify the existing world and settle with its naïve reception. Catastrophic moods are dominant in their art. Between these two variants of the paradigm of youth there are Adam Ważyk’s visions of adolescence, in which the researcher indicates the presence of idyllic threads and child’s imagination.

The article presents interpretations of the little-known late poetry of Tadeusz Miciński from 1914-1915, where the myth of revival occurs. It has been shown that alongside with the myths of individual and national revival found in the writer’s earlier works, there appears the rite of renewal of nature, which functions in the close connection with them in the poems Hymn/Anthem and Widzenie Polski/Vision of Poland. This is the new formula of the author's lyrics. It has been proved that the coherence of the mentioned myths is subordinated to the idea of renouncing personal happiness in favor of the national cause and the vision of resurrection of the homeland (Poland) in specific geographical dimension. Attention was paid to the symbolism of the language of the analyzed texts.
