Wczasy w mieście, czyli przyczynek do historiograficznych „przyczynków” Szymona Askenazego
A holiday in the city, or a contribution to Szymon Askenazy’s ‘historiographical contributions’

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to show that the historical thought of Szymon Askenazy, a distinguished representative of the neo-romantic school of Polish historiography of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, was most distinctive not in his greatest works or editorial accomplishments, but in the smaller forms to which he referred, probably as one of the first historians, as ‘historical holidays’. The most interesting strands of his interpretation of Polish and European history in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are often to be found in these ‘leisure’ forms of writing.
