„Drogi promienia”. O biografii i opowiadaniach wspomnieniowych Bronisławy Ostrowskiej
“Trajectories of the Ray” Some Remarks on Bronisława Ostrowska’s Biography and Recollection Short-Stories

Summary/Abstract: This article discuses some hitherto-unknown facts of the poetess’s biography, based upon recently detected archival materials. The most important one among these – the once famous (by-now-forgotten) so-called Brzezicka’s affair – created a unique situation with which Ostrowska had to struggle in her life and poetic activity, as testified, to recall but a single trait, the specific features of her mother’s portrait comprised in the lyric verse and recollection short-stories. Analysis of the autobiographical discourse of "W starym lustrze" has been enriched with a facts-related resource facilitating the deciphering of the numerous allusions and understatements.
