Summary/Abstract: The review discusses Marian Bielecki’s book on an agonic theory of literary history. The methodological part raises the reviewer’s objections as inspiration with Harold Bloom’s proposals leads in a few instances to a too traditional thought about literary history. By contrast, the interpretive part is considered successful since as based on relations of some writers with Witold Gombrowicz’s works Bielecki convincingly presents the importance of literary agon and creative subjectivity for the dynamics of literary phenomena.
