The present article is an attempt to define the characteristic and distinctive features of P. Mroczkowski’s thinking about the Middle Ages. The author distinguishes between Mroczkowski the professional medievalist, Mroczkowski the popularizer of knowledge about the Middle Ages, and Mroczkowski an ideologist of medievalism understood as a certain counterpoint and counter proposal in relation to modernity. In this latter role the professor reveals the somewhat sentimental and nostalgic aspects of his attitude towards the Middle Ages, which, however, by no means prevents him from being able to analyse that epoch, and its culture, in a more critical spirit too. The author of the article also tries to establish the degree and nature of Mroczkowski’s indebtedness to some English representatives of ideological medievalism, particularly C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton. The Polish scholar appears from this comparison as perhaps a trifle less polemical or philosophical in his approach, but more firmly anchored in a thorough understanding of the materialist and dynamic context of medieval culture and literature.
