Summary/Abstract: This article concentrates mainly on the two-year period of Maria Komornicka’s journey around Europe which began on August 31, 1898, in Krakow and ended on March 29, 1900, in Na-ples. The analysis of her ‘letters from the journey’ allows us to better understand Komornicka – the author of Biesy – her interests and views as well as her character and personality. The epistologra-phy of Maria Komornicka (Piotr Odmieniec Włast) becomes a testimony of her life and the shaping of her personality. It is a document about the poet and the epoch.
