Summary/Abstract: The author reviews the edition of “Niedrukowane dramaty Gabrieli Zapolskiej” (“Gabriela Zapolska’s Unpublished Dramas”) and remarks that it is of exemplary fashion. Its first volume contains the following dramas: “Nerwowa awantura” (“A Nervous Commotion”) and Pariasy. Szkice sceniczne (“Opressed. Stage Sketches”), while the second one – “Carewicz” (“Czarevitch”) and “Asystent” (“Assistant”). The review stresses the significance of Zapolska’s dramas to Polish and European culture at the beginning of the 20th century; “Czarevitch”, for example, was adapted for Ferenc Lehár’s opera libretto.
