"De acuto et arguto” or on Some Karol Irzykowski’s Manneristic Short-Stories

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the problems of Karol Irzykowski’s short-story writing. Selected novels by the writer are here analyzed with reference to the idea of “mannerism poetics” being, according to the author, a useful term to describe some literary texts composed at the beginning of 20th century (to date referred to as “experimental” or “avant-garde”). The author takes on the “trans-historical” perspective to confront Irzykowski’s literary creativity with the end 16th and 17th c. literary theory concepts.
