The article argues that Lytton Strachey’s Eminent Victorians (1918) exemplifies the use of modernist irony, as defined by AlanWilde in Horizons of Assent: Modernism, Postmodernism, and the Ironic Imagination (1981). The Polish translation of Strachey’s book, which includes only two of the four original essays, while losing the ironic undertones of the title in Ludzie epoki Wiktorii, keeps some significant characteristics discussed by Wilde, such as disjunction, paradox and parataxis. Strachey’s disjunctive irony, his awareness of life’s incongruities and disparities, his perspective of distance and detachment, as well as his employment of narrative techniques suggesting discontinuity, fleeting impression and subjectivity – all lie at the root of the new form of biography as a genre.

The article deals with the presence of modernist irony, which is defined as a characteristic attitude to symbolism in Spanish modernism. This topic is an answer to dual understanding of the turn of the 19th and 20th century in Spanish literature (modernism, Generation ‘98), which is an expression of the excessive attachment to critical moments in analyzing the evolution of Spanish literature. The author shows the validity of the category proposed, analyzing the novels Sangre patricia by Díaz Rodríguez and Amor y pedagogía by Miguel de Unamuno, as well as referring to poetry and painting of the Spanish cultural area. She also points to the social conditioning of modernist irony. The presence of this category in Unamuno’s output challenges the traditional categorization of the historico-literary process of Spanish modernism.
