Summary/Abstract: The review is a discussion about an edition of Władysław Orkan’s letters from the years 1891–1914, prepared by Grzegorz Brodacki and issued in three volumes. The edition was based on autographs from Polish libraries, scientific institutions, and private collections. The reviewer puts forward the opinion that this critical and detailed preparation of Orkan’s epistolographical output serves as a relevant material to trace not only the writer’s biography, but also the development of his literary interests, poetic imagination, and language and cultural awareness of the epoch in which he lived.
