Jerzy Jedlicki (1930–2018) should be regarded as one of the best and most interesting historians of the post-war generation. Not only can his oeuvre be defined by its wideranging scope (from economic and social history, including research on the 19th-century nobility and intelligentsia, to the history of ideas), but also by peculiar research methodology. By choosing letters Jedlicki wrote to Witold Kula, his mentor, between 1963 and 1974, and providing them with an original commentary, Marcin Kula strived to characterize the most important traits of this historical methodology. He called Jedlicki an ‘unusual historian’ which begs the question whether Jedlicki can really be referred to as such. According to the reviewer, the approach to historiography developed and practiced by Jedlicki should be treated as exemplary; some of its peculiarities stemmed mostly from his personality. As a deeply self-aware individual, by the way in which he chose his research interests, formulated and solved research problems, he was able to adjust them to his personality and transform weaknesses he found into strengths. He succeeded in combining the career as an historian with maintaining a keen interest in current affairs, which is reflected in his journalistic writings; also while examining the past, he always bore in mind its impact on the contemporary human condition. His historical works have served readers if not as a source of ready-made answers, then at least as creative reflection on the problems bothering modern man.

Artykuł podejmuje próbę podsumowania dorobku badawczo-pisarskiego Jerzego Jedlickiego (1930–2018) jako historyka XIX w. Analizie poddane zostały wszystkie książki Jedlickiego, ważniejsze artykuły oraz recenzje, a także zasoby archiwalne z Instytutu Historii PAN, z którym związana była cała jego kariera zawodowa. Zaakcentowano następujące zagadnienia: ewolucja stosunku do marksizmu i – szerzej – determinizmu historycznego; nowatorskie podejście na styku historii społecznej i historii idei; poglądy na miejsce historii pośród nauk społecznych i naturę poznania historycznego; indywidualny styl pisarski Jedlickiego oraz funkcję ironii jako narzędzia interpretacyjnego; wreszcie jego poglądy na społeczne i polityczne konsekwencje głównych nurtów ideowych w Polsce w XIX stuleciu. The article analyses the legacy of Jerzy Jedlicki (1930–2018) as a historian of the nineteenth century. The analysis covers his books, his main articles and the most characteristic reviews, as well as archival materials from the Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences, where Jedlicki worked for his entire professional career. The following problems are emphasized: the evolution of his attitude to Marxism and historical determinism; his attempts to combine the methods of social history and the history of ideas; his approach to the main challenges of history as a social science and a discipline of the humanities; his individual authorial style and the function of irony as an interpretative tool. And finally, his attitude towards the main ideological currents in the nineteenth-century Poland.
