The article deals with the biographies of Henryk Sienkiewicz created in connection with the writer’s death and the celebration of bringing his body to Warsaw. These are texts of a more journalistic than documentary character, marked by rhetorical pathos, building the figure of the national writer – the successor of the romantic poets. For the description of their specificity the concept has been used which appears in the biographical studies written in English as “biomythography”, understood as a particular type of ideological narration with a distinct surplus of symbolic meanings.

The article is a performative interpretation of Sendlerowa. W ukryciu, a biography of Irena Sendlerowa by Anna Bikont. The author of the article presents the biography as a textual performance, whose aim is to contest the well-known image of Irena Sendlerowa (described within the category of biomythography introduced by Michael Benton). The author analyses how Anna Bikont distances herself from the biomythography and reintroduces the parts of Sendlerowa’s biography that had been omitted for years through being incompatible with the role of a national hero. She also evaluates the extent to which biography can serve as a critical tool with respect to Polish historical policy.
