Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the book Światy i życie. Metafory poezji w polskiej krytyce literackiej doby romantyzmu [Worlds and Life. Metaphors of Poetry in Polish Literary Criticism in the Romantic Era] by Marek Stanisz. The review emphasizes the immense documentary and analytical value of this study, especially the broad discussion of statements made by Romantic literary critics about poetry and the concept of the poet. At the same time, the review polemicizes with the claim that original metaphors constitute the semantic core of Polish Romantic criticism.
