The paper aims to show a dandy as a performer who acts as if he was guided by a kind of a revolutionary manifesto, which we attempt to recreate by referring to essays of Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly, Charles Baudelaire, Jules Lemaître or Oscar Wilde. The dandy’s rebellion against the outside world consists in the creation of his own personality, as well as in the rejection of the rudimentary uniformity and the duty of utility. He seeks to give his life an exceptional character, his unique goal is to serve the highest value: the Beauty. His responsibility is to impress his audience and not to let himself be amazed, as he cannot disclose his feelings and he has to adopt an impenetrable attitude, guided by the constant urge of staging his life, as a form of protection against the surrounding world, malevolent and rude.

Dandyzm nie ogranicza się wyłącznie do hołdowania oryginalności i wytworności ubioru. W istocie doskonałość stroju polega na zupełnej prostocie, która zresztą jest najlepszym sposobem wyróżniania się. Niniejszy artykuł pokazuje, że wyrafinowana elegancja jest wyznacznikiem arystokratycznej wyższości ducha, sposobem walki z wszechobecną użytecznością i uniformizacją. Dzięki wyszukanemu strojowi dandys nie jest człowiekiem anonimowym; to buntownik, który balansując na granicy konwenansów, podejmuje nieustanne ryzyko, zamieniając swą egzystencję w grę sprzeczności.

Contrary to popular belief, dandyism is not an immoderate delight in elegance. In fact, for the perfect dandy the excellence of costume is only a sign of aristocratic superiority of mind. The present paper aims to show the subtle manipulations, by means of which the dandy provokes society and the salon public, nonchalantly merging sublime manners and outrageous impertinence. Dandy, therefore, is not an ordinary man following fashion, but a rebel who don’t hesitate to play with rules, who takes a permanent risk, turning his existence in the game contradictions.

Derrière l’ostentation et la frivolité apparentes, il faut percevoir l’habit du dandy en tant que signe de sa lutte contre l’égalité et l’utilité des gens. Grâce au vêtement recherché il n’est plus un individu anonyme, il se montre à autrui en tant qu’un homme révolté, en dehors du commun. Ainsi, nous tenterons de montrer qu’il existe toute une philosophie de cet art de bien s’habiller, qu’on ne peut pas enfermer le dandy dans un album avec des gravures de mode, car il mérite bien qu’on le mette dans le rang des artistes qui exploitent la mode à leurs fins, à savoir la provocation et le jeu avec les règles en vigueur sans s’y asservir.

The present paper is concerned with the most important figures and forms of dandyism in the XIX century. It also outlines the main characteristics of the phenomenon, as well as reflects on a number of literary dandies. According to Barbey d’Aurevilly, dandyism is as difficult to describe as it is to define. In his essay “Mon cœur mis à nu” Charles Baudelaire commented that dandies had “no profession other than elegance […] no other status but that of cultivating the idea of beauty in their own persons. The dandy must aspire to be sublime without interruption; he must live and sleep before a mirror”. In fact, the magic of dandyism resides in the permanent interplay between the dandy’s temperament and his appearance. Key words: Dandyism, esthetisme, provocation, Charles Baudelaire, Barbey d’Aurevilly.

According to Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly, the obligation of every dandy is to become a true master in the art of pleasing by displeasing. His words, his tricks, his intrigues will give birth to the stereotype of the dandy conveyed by his contemporaries throughout the 19th century. By referring to the critical texts of the time and modern critical texts, we will attempt to review the main roles of a dandy: a master of elegance, idle master, misogynist master, impassive master, and finally, insolent master. The paper aims to prove that hidden behind the mask of the original eccentric is a rebel protecting his individuality against the surrounding mediocrity.

The article discusses the book The Free Shooters of Thought. On Some Romantic and Post-Romantic Figures of Mind by Agnieszka Kocik. This publication proposes to trace the dynamics in the development of the character of an eccentric in the 19th century literature, based on an analysis of works by, among others, Balzac, Sztyrmer, Nerval, Champfleury, Verne, Howard. The author distinguishes three stages in modernisation of fiction, pointing to its sources in the evolution of scientific and parascientific theories and ideas, without forgetting the historical upheavals which inevitably brought about important socio-political, cultural and literary changes.
