Summary/Abstract: In the mid-nineteenth century a new form of biographism emerges, inspired, among otherthings, by Ch. Sainte-Beuve’s biographical writings. Posthumous memories are biographical texts,more or less personal, written in the wake of death, and at the same time the first articles objectivisingknowledge about deceased writers. The aim of this article is to present the figure of Maria Ilnicka(1825–1897), a Polish poet, writer, interpreter, publicist and the editor-in-chief of the women’s magazine“Bluszcz”, as the author of posthumous memoirs about dead female poets.
