„Kultura", a literary, artistic and social weekly published in Poznań in the years 1936-1939 was one of the four most important literary journals in interwar Poland (the others were „Wiadomości Literackie", „Prosto z Mostu" and „Pion"). The publisher was the Chief Institute of Catholic Action (officially from 1938). The editors-in-chief were Fr. Stanisław Bross, Walerian Sobkowiak and others. „Kultura" played an exceptional role among an enormous number of Catholic and religious journals of that time, owing to its high literary and artistic standard as well as on account of addressing challenging topics. The journal strove to represent an open attitude also in the social dimension and with respect to Christian philosophy (neo-Thomism, the thought of Maritain). Its authors included Zofia Starowiejska, Wojciech Bąk, Karol Hubert Rostworowski, Zofia Kossak, Gustaw Morcinek. Also the works of Claudel, Mauriac, Chesterton and Undset were published.
