Wyspiański jako problem polskiego modernizmu
Wyspiański as an Issue of Polish Modernism

Summary/Abstract: The starting point for this essay is an observation that new conceptualisations of Polish modernism that have been appearing since the late 1990s (Nycz, Bolecki, and others) usually tend to neglect, or at best clearly marginalise, the output of Stanisław Wyspiański – otherwise, the central figure of the Young Poland (i.e. Polish modernist) literature. The author attempts to find an answer to the question ‘why’, by disclosing an inner dynamism of two concurrent facets of Polish modernism: the strictly modernist(ic) and the neo-romanticist ones, positioning Wyspiański at their point of contact, knot-tying spot.
