Recenzja omawia książkę Sylwii Panek poświęconą „mostom” Karola Irzykowskiego, czyli jego spotkaniom jako krytyka literatury i kultury z twórcami polskiego modernizmu (Stefan Żeromski, Zofia Nałkowska, Wilhelm Feldman), z antropologiem Georgiem Simmlem oraz teoretykiem Wiktorem Szkłowskim. Przedstawiając dialogi Irzykowskiego z myślą cudzą, Panek rekonstruuje koncepcje literatury Irzykowskiego i jego warsztat jako krytyka. Tę prezentację i analizę autorka recenzji ocenia wysoko.

The review discusses Sylwia Panek’s book on Karol Irzykowski’s “bridges,” i.e. his encounters as a literary and cultural critic with the founders of the Polish modernism (Stefan Żeromski, Zofia Nałkowska, Wilhelm Feldman), with the anthropologist Georg Simmel, and with the theoretician Viktor Sklovsky. Presenting Irzykowski’s dialogues with someone else’s thought, Panek reconstructs the writer’s conceptions of literature and his workshop as a critic. The reviewer fully appreciates Panek’s presentation and analysis.

The article proposes a comparative reading of two novels: "American" of Henry James and "The Doll" of Bolesław Prus. The author argues that James’ novel published in Polish in 1878 could become an inspiration for Prus. The circle of problems of "American" and "The Doll" is focused around similar themes: the identity of a modern man and the patterns of masculinity and femininity. Both novelists show a mechanism of creation for idealistic fantasies.

The article shows the ethical aspects of three major Polish literary autobiographies, representing different generations of writers. They are: 'Autobiography in the letters' of Eliza Orzeszkowa, 'My contemporaries' of Stanislaw Przybyszewski and 'Polish memories; of Witold Gombrowicz. All authors create the image of the writer as the conscience of culture, therefore, emphasize their own sense of duty, responsibility, and patriotism. It reveals the persistence shaped in the nineteenth-century story about a Polish writer who must subordinate his work and his imagination to ethics of obligation. We can find this pattern not only in case of Orzeszkowa (the supporter of the philosophy of positivism) but also in case of Przybyszewski (modernist provocateur) and Gombrowicz who wants to change and revalue the 'form' of Polish culture after the Second World War. With this pattern, all authors fight with their competitors in the field of literature, which obliges us to ask again for their ethical choices. For a symbolic rejection of forms in Polish literary autobiography, a novel by Andrzej Stasiuk 'How Did I Become a Writer', written shortly after the 1989, can be considered.
