The Literary Competition in "Obrączka" by Emma Dmochowska (Jeleńska): A Contribution to the Research on Literary Representations of Cultural Life at the Turn of the Century

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses methods of the presentation of a literary competition in the novel "Obrączka" (“The wedding ring”) (1907) by Emma Dmochowska (maiden name Jeleńska). The portrayal of the protagonist who takes part in a drama competition is investigated in the context of Dmochowska’s experiences, of her participations in literary competitions and in the context of other literary works published at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, where this motif is employed. The mechanisms of the literary competitions in "Obrączka" are also compared to the practices implemented by the administrators of the literary competitions in Poland in the second half of the 19th century. This allows to reconstruct the profile of the institution of literary competition in "Obrączka" (especially with regard to its position in the literary life in the second half of the 19th century and its influence on the literary market).
