Summary/Abstract: The author presents the bilingual archives of Jan Brzękowski (1903–1983) from the perspective of genetic translation studies. Drawing upon the fields of genetic criticism and translation studies, this hybrid methodology allows the author to analyse the role of self-translation in the development of Brzękowski’s French-language poetics. Moreover, it sheds light on the cultural context of bilingual creation often practised by émigré poets. The article includes detailed information about Brzękowski’s archives and offers preliminary reflections on the relationship between translation and literary creation in the output of other Polish writers.
