Angelology in terms of Miron Białoszewskiego - Selected Issues

Summary/Abstract: The article contributes to the analysis of angelology in the works of Miron Białoszewski. The author concentrates her attention on defining the meaning of the angel motive in the selected texts of the poet. She reveals the process, typical for this writer, of integrating the biblical and contemporary worlds and introducing on equal rights the elements of the reality known from everyday experience. Białoszewski treats Jewish-Catholic tradition selectively. He refers to images imprinted in the Holy Bible but, at the same time, exceeds stereotype presentations. By depicting angels among earthly realities, he polemises with the Christian concept of their nature and creates a specific quasi-apocryphe based on the holy history. The symbolic ambiguity of angel figure allows to, among others, formulate pars pro toto a vision about the religious provenance. Angels appear as the tools for description of another, spiritual reality and mystical experiences.
