Summary/Abstract: The text discusses a collection of Tomasz Lewandowski’s sketches entitled “Encounters with Young Poland (Spotkania młodopolskie)” which, among many papers on the subjects, attracts readers’ attention in the way it describes and accounts for Polish modernism. The title of the collection justly reflects Lewandowski’s method of close-ups in which subjectively selected problems, namely an obscure figure of Ignacy Dąbrowski, Stanisław Wyspiański’s early dramas, and eventually the renaissance of positivist thought at the twilight of Young Poland are subject of examination. The original subject supports here bold statements, and seemilgly exhaustive problems bring about unexpected conclusions, being so necessary in literary history.
