Summary/Abstract: This article concerns the theory and practice of a variety of approaches to the literary creative process. The main thesis is that scholarship of this kind – quite popular outside of Poland – may be seen as interesting proposition and simultaneously as a challenge for contemporary (and future) Polish literary criticism. The author argues that Polish genetic criticism stays in touch with both the “cultural turn” and the idea of the “return to the philology.” In conclusion, the category of the “trace” and its applicability for the purposes of genetic criticism is discussed.
