Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the paper is to analyze Schulzean transtextual and contextual relationsin Polish literature of the 20th and 21st century. Using the theories of Gérard Genette,the author focuses mostly on hypertextual references (such as parody, pastiche, and pamphlet), intertextual references (such as allusion, verbal incrustation, and quotation),paratexts (such as dedication, motto, title, and subtitle), architextual references (such as generic affinity) to the literary and artistic works of Bruno Schulz in fiction, poetry,drama, and picture books. The results of the analysis show that a biographical contextof Schulz’s oeuvre was the most frequently invoked by Polish writers. Schulz’s fictionhas also been a valuable reservoir of stylistic and compositional patterns for Polish artists.
