Powieści Stanisława Brzozowskiego w Polsce Ludowej. Zarys dziejów recepcji

Abstract

This paper is an analysis of the discourse emerging around the novels by Stanisław Brzozowski in Poland between 1945 and 1989. The publishing timeline sets the background for the more important focus on the reception of his work. Three distinct periods are discussed – 1945–1956, when his novels were regarded as an aftermath of the interwar period, and thus banned under the Stalinist regime; 1956–1974, when his work was frequently reprinted and became a subject of historical and literary research; finally, 1974–1989, when Brzozowski’s novels came under proper academic scrutiny.
