Summary/Abstract: Helena and Ludwik Stolarzewicz undoubtedly played an important role in the scientific and cultural life of Łódź in the inter-war period. They were active in many fields — both academic and social — which placed them among the most recognizable figures in the humanist circles in Łódź. The works of the Stolarzewiczs were mainly devoted to literature, but they received Życie i działalność Ludwika i Heleny Stolarzewiczów na tle życia literackiego... 77 mixed reviews — which was particularly true in the case of Ludwik. Nowadays, they have become somewhat forgotten. Describing the life and scientific work of the Stolarzewiczs is nonetheless a major step towards an understanding of the overall culture of Łódź back then. Press articles published in Łódź, which often described the activities of the two scholars, are among the most important sources allowing one to learn their history. Their own published works also provide much valuable information, as do the memoirs of the Łódź writers from the described period.
