Przekreślona tradycja. Tadeusz Grabowski i poznańskie Koło Polonistów
Tradition Crossed out. Tadeusz Grabowski and the Poznań ‘Circle of Polish Scholars’

Summary/Abstract: Tadeusz Grabowski (1871-1960), a Polish scholar and Romance philologist, professor of the University of Poznań, was a literary theoretician who promoted the anti-positivist breakthrough in Poland. His article Nowa nauka o literaturze [‘The new literary science’] (1935) was an underestimated interesting attempt at introducing a communicative and anthropological perspective in literary research. Grabowski was a patron of the Circle of Polish Scholars which before WW2 carried out animated research activity. In 1935, the Circle organised a Convention of Circles of Polish Studies at which young scholars from Vilna, fascinated with the Russian formalism (M. Rzeuska, J. Putrament), discussed and held methodological disputes with adherents of the sociological method and Marxism (F. Siedlecki, S. Żółkiewski, D. Hopensztand).
