Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is an interpretation style of Juliusz Słowacki’s works worked out as late as in the 19th century, and retained in the 20th century in outstanding readings by Juliusz Kleiner. The very style pays little attention to such phenomena in Słowacki’s poetics as irony, sarcasm, inter-textualism, and grotesque, The author of the article suggests a reintroduction of an ironic reading of Słowacki’s dramas and poems different form a serious and idealistic interpretation of writings by Adam Mickiewicz.
