Summary/Abstract: The literary heritage of Bolesław Prus has been the subject of numerous publications, especially concerning the language, which remains the article author’s main focus. However, researchers have primarily concentrated on his literary fiction works – the novels, short stories, and novellas. The remarkably rich collection of the journalistic writings of Prus has been so far of marginal interest. This article introduces the reader to this great literary phenomenon – it provides the dates of the author’s collaboration with the editorial offices, press titles where he published his works, and describes his publishing cycles. It offers a current list of linguistic works devoted to the idiolect of Prus. It also addresses a set of problems and delineates the research tasks which are worth undertaking in order to perform a thorough and complex analysis of the language of Prus as a journalist.
