Chrząstowska i stereotypy, czyli o reformie kształcenia literackiego, programach i podręcznikach
Bożena Chrząstowska and stereotypes, or: of reforming literary education, of curricula and schoolbooks

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents Professor Bożena Chrząstowska’s (1929-2020) hard scientific path as well as her combative nature which proved itself in her battle against school stereotypes. Bożena Chrząstowska insisted that at school, the status of literary work and its interpretation based in literary theory should be enhanced. She perceived a literary work within the broader context of the whole didactic process which aims at preparing students to participate in culture. According to Bożena Chrząstowska, this needs reforming literary education (abandoning literary history in favour of interpretation), rethinking the curricula, and introducing new concepts of schoolbooks.
