Summary/Abstract: This article asks a question about ways and cognitive effects of exploiting poet’s memory (written down, first of all, in the letters but also in the memorials) as a component of the historical documentation, which was the scientific base for Ferdynand Hoesick’s monograph "Życie Juliusza Słowackiego na tle współczesnej epoki (1809‒1849). Biografia psychologiczna", 1896‒1897 (“The Life of Juliusz Słowacki Against the Backdrop of His Times (1809‒1849). A Psychological Biography”, 1896‒1897). The researcher’s trust in Słowacki’s autobiographical testimonies is presented as a symptom of the modernist changes inhistorical and literary biography studies. The earlier poet’s monograph by Antoni Małecki is an important reference to Hoesic’s work.
