Summary/Abstract: By virtue of his education, his career as a lecture and his research interests, Ryszard Łużny was an expert in East Slavic and Polish literature. In his writings, he exhibited profound knowledge of Polish literature, beginning with Old Polish up to contemporary works. He was first to demonstrate the existence of such phenomena as common features of intellectual currents in Slavic writings and in West European trends, which are often considered distinct by specialists in the field. A significant portion of his research focused on intertextuality. He was able to make apt diagnoses of the cultural phenomena in contemporaneity and in the past.
