Mickiewicz, poezja i anegdota. Pytania o tożsamość twórcy w wierszu Ten to też Tadeusza Różewicza
Mickiewicz, poetry and anecdote. Questions about the identity of the creator in poem Ten to też by Tadeusz Różewicz

Summary/Abstract: The paper addresses narrative strategies applied by Tadeusz Różewicz in his poem Ten to też (This is also) from the volume Szara strefa (Grey zone), an imagined episode in Adam Mickiewicz’s life. The analysis of the ironic intertextual play with the genre of epistolary reminiscences shows the contemporary writer’s struggle with the Romantic myth of the outstanding, pioneering poet. In the light of parallel experiences of living and writing, Różewicz’s dilemmas of an artist and a human being can be shown by means of an apparently amusing story of a social insult. The biographical anecdote turns out to be a latent attempt at an autobiographical utterance.
