Summary/Abstract: The book under consideration invites the reader into the world of crystalising and solidifying the ideas of Polish modernism (the activities of Richard Maria Werner, and Karol Irzykowski’s artistic creativity being the main cases here) influenced by now unfairly forgotten Friedrich Hebbel who, due to his revolutionary formal resolutions, was by his contemporaries seen equal to Ibsen and Wagner. Katarzyna Sadkowska sketches a rich context of the author of Judith’s views which mingled into 19th and 20th c. Polish culture. The author also sees the researches, men of letters, and translators gathered around a Lviv Germanist Richard Maria Werner, namely Zdzisław Żygulski, Karol Irzykowski, Józef Mirski, Juliusz Kleiner, Zygmunt Łempicki, and Hermann Sternbach, as first propagators of Hebbel’s ideas in Poland.
