Literary polemics are a very characteristic phenomenon of eighteenth century culture. Some of the polemics refer to the essential problems of culture, while others, such as the analysed discussion on “Jagiellonida” and “Pułtawa”, are critical in nature.

A reconstruction and juxtaposition of their opinions are presented in this article.
