This article reinterprets legends and literary-historical disputes having accrued around Mickiewicz. The transformation of the Mickiewicz of the former half of 19th century into the one of posterity is shown, along with contexts (including post-modern ones) facilitating re-comprehension of the basic categories of the poet's output.
The proposed 'nineteenth-century cultural model' (Polish: dziewietnastowiecznosc) should be understood as a peculiar 'ideal type', not actualised in any discursive practice (deduced from a heterogenic textual space), or, as a certain neo-Hegelian type, showing off what is essential, paradigmatic, or model in a given set or group of phenomena. In a quest for traces of manifestation of (a) 19th-century cultural awareness, the present article attempted at embracing ideas propagated by a few generations of creative artists as well as those reconstructed on an ex-post basis, resulting from a scholarly afterthought on modernity.

The notion in question stands for an opportunity to integrate things that have been losing their continuity and have been artificially separated in the course of didactic schematisations being employed
