Anatol Stern’s “Namiętny pielgrzym” (“A Passionate Pilgrim”) in the Perspective of Archive Materials

Summary/Abstract: The paper refers to Anatol Stern’s novel “Namiętny pielgrzym” (“A Passionate Pilgrim”). Owing to the writer’s situation and the political changes that took place after the World War II, it serves as an example of a text that proves challenging to prepare for publication within the framework of traditional paper edition. Based on archive materials, the researcher describes Stern’s situation who for a long time was in political disgrace and later faced censorship problems. An analysis of the author’s copy reveals the development of Stern’s workshop, due to which the text in many places gains finishing touch. Ultimately, the article presents the main assumptions of traditional editions for such texts and depicts the advantage of editions that employ DTD standard and hypertext potential.
