Summary/Abstract: The author discusses the concept of Lev Vygotsky’s psychology of literature against the background of various interpretations of the term. Through reconstructing a reactological understanding of the text as a stimulus, she juxtaposes different applications of the category of “strategy” in Polish literary studies and criticism. This makes it possible to reclaim the concept of the psychology of literature and discard the unfavourable connotations with pan-psychologism, biographism or interpreters’ pretense for being diagnosticians of literary characters or authors. literary criticism Psychology of Literature
