Summary/Abstract: This review deals with Andrzej Biernacki’s collection of forty-four essays on Wacław Borowy written by diverse authors. The collection is entitled "Zatajony artysta" (The Secretive Artist). Borowy (1890–1950) was an eminent literary critic and scholar in Polish and English literatures. The reviewer states that the essays form a dramatic “biographical story” of the luminous and uncompromising academic whose professional career was tragically disrupted at its climax by attacks from some of the most ardent and obsequious proponents of the communist regime in post-war Poland.
