Henrikas Radauskas. On the Fate of a Poet from Central-Eastern Europe: Henrikas Radauskas (1910–1970) holds a unique place in the Lithuanian literature of the 20th century. His work, which grew out of his fascination with the heritage of European culture and combines modernist searches with classicist formal discipline, is still considered a one-of-a-kind artistic proposal in contemporary Lithuanian poetry. However, the choices and fate of the poet himself can be recognised as an exemplification of the choices and fate of many artists from Central and Eastern Europe belonging to the same generation. The article aims to demonstrate those experiences in Radauskas’s biography that were formative and which provoke comparisons to other writers representing the same period in the history of literature and lead to reflection on the essence of a generational community.

“Whitehorn’s Windmill” is considered to be the most outstanding work of KazysBoruta and one of the most important Lithuanian novels of the 20th century. Thebook was written during World War II when the Lithuanian state became theobject of aggression of two totalitarian powers and lost independence for a longtime, and it has grown from the writer’s anxiety about the fate of his country and the persistence of Lithuanian identity. Hence, Boruta reached for the richresources of the native folklore, to evoke the mythologized image of theLithuanian village, which in Lithuanian literature has the rank of chronotope,and at the same time, it is an important component of Lithuanian imaginationabout the sources of national culture. The story, the meaning and functions of the“Whitehorn’s Windmill,” its genesis and post-war fate, its literary and non-literarycontexts, as well as the history of its reception, allow us to interpret the workfrom the perspective of reflection on literature as a medium of cultural memory.

The article is an attempt to answer the question whether Lithuanian modernist literature of the first decade of the twentieth century falls within the category of national literature, and if so, what model of such defined literature it represents or shapes. In accordance with the assumption that this category takes on meaning only in the context of the place and time in which it is invoked, the understanding of the tasks of literature characteristic of Lithuanian modernists is reconstructed here in comparison with the concepts of literature dominating in the Lithuanian intellectual life of that period. The search for an answer to this question is also a pretext for reflection on the role of modernism in the history of Lithuanian culture and the process of the formation of Lithuanian modernity. The subject of analysis in this search is the first Lithuanian literary almanac Gabija, published in Cracow in 1907, and above all the texts of its editor, bilingual writer Józef Albin Herbaczewski.
