Postacie poezji. Nad mottami „Poety i świata” Józefa Ignacego Kraszewskiego
Trailing Poetry. The Mottos to Józef Ignacy Kraszewski’s "Poeta i świat"

Summary/Abstract: The article’s purpose is to interpret the three meta-texts which open the most prominent of young Józef Ignacy Kraszewski’s works – taken from "Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage" by George Byron, "Les Comediens" by Casimir Delavigne and "Vorschule der Aesthetik" by Jean Paul. The sequence of epigraphs helps define the novel’s subject-matter, additionally promising some unprecedented resolutions Kraszewski made while writing his novel on a poet. Due to the epigraphs, the discussed problem of a rapture between ideal and reality becomes much more profound as they open toward a distinct intertextual interpretation and help specify the literary programme of young Kraszewski.
