Nowadays, new versions of well-known fairy tales are extremely popular. However, it is debatable how to define such works. The author of the paper Postmodern Retelling of Fairy Tales — A Handful of Terminological Comments suggests using the term “retelling” in relation to a particular group of postmodern works which tell canonical, traditional fairy tales in new ways. Andrzej Sapkowski’s definition of “retelling” and differences between this notion and the others (such as “rewriting” or “adaptation”) are also considered. The article concludes with a proposal to form a new definition of “retelling”. It is based on the conviction that this term should be used to call both the mode of storytelling and such works in which various aspects of pre-texts undergo essential revisions.

The main focus of the present paper is the so-called ”intertextual revision”, explored as one of the most recent and innovative strategies employed while reviving the legacy of the Danish fairy-tale classic Hans Christian Andersen. In order to illustrate this practice, I discuss a short story entitled Travels with the Snow Queen (2001), by an American writer Kelly Link, which is a reworking of Andersen's world-famous fairy tale The Snow Queen (1844). Link's take on Andersen's tale represents one of the leading directions within revisionary fairy-tale fiction, inspired by feminism and gender criticism. The analysis is centered around the narrative strategies employed by the author in order to challenge the gender logic incorporated into Andersen's account, as well as the broader fairy-tale tradition it belongs to.

Postmodern image of Death in the novel Dřevĕná panenka by Martin Komárek The presented analytic-interpretative study deals with the image of Death in the work of fiction Dřevěná panenka (Wooden Doll, 1990) by Czech writer Martin Komárek. This book opens the series of four novels (published during the last decade of the 20th century) in which this author repeatedly returns to the theme of death and dying. This article focuses primarily on the theme of the fight with death and the possibilities of overcoming mortality. The essay pays special attention to the specific modality of Komárek’s work of fiction that is based on intertextual relations (mostly on the level of motifs) with Gothic novels. The study also registers the grotesque dimension in the personification of death in the form of a terrible doll-puppet, and attempts to interpret the theme of death in Komárek’s novel in the context of postmodern poetics.

Postmodernistyczny obraz Śmierci w powieści Martina Komárka Dřevĕná panenka Prezentowany analityczno-interpretacyjny artykuł dotyczy obrazu Śmierci w powieści Dřevěná panenka (Drewniana lalka, 1990) czeskiego pisarza Martina Komárka. Książka ta otwiera serię czterech powieści (wydanych w ostatnim dziesięcioleciu XX wieku), w których autor wielokrotnie powraca do tematu śmierci i umierania. W niniejszym tekście badania koncentrują się przede wszystkim na motywie walki ze śmiercią, na jej przezwyciężaniu, dostrzegając jednocześnie cechy wspólne analizowanego dzieła (szczególnie na poziomie motywów) między innymi z gatunkiem powieści gotyckiej. W artykule zwrócono uwagę na groteskowy wymiar uosobienia śmierci w postaci budzącej lęk lalki-kukiełki. W analizie utworu wzięto również pod uwagę wcześniejszą interpretację tematu śmierci w prozie Komárka w kontekście poetyki postmodernistycznej.
