Wokół staropolskiej literatury popularnej
On Old Polish Popular Literature

Rev.: Andrzej Tadeusz Staniszewski, The Functioning of the Popular Narrative Literature in the Early Modern Cracow”, 2020)

Summary/Abstract: The reviewer enters into polemics with the theses of Andrzej Tadeusz Staniszewski’s book „Historyje krakowskie. Funkcjonowanie narracyjnych tekstów popularnych we wczesnonowożytnej aglomeracji krakowskiej” („Cracow Stories: The Functioning of the Popular Narrative Literature in the Early Modern Cracow”, 2020) and convinces, against Staniszewski’s statements, that popular narrative literature which entered the Polish literary circulation in the 16th century was reissued in the following century. Scanty copiers that remained until now and especially booksellers’ inventories the significance of which Staniszewski diminished are made evidence of the reviewer’s stance.
