Keywords: editorial (methodology); Juliusz Słowacki

Summary/Abstract: A general outline of the editorial concept of a ‘collected works’ edition, to be possibly adequate to our today’s knowledge of the poet and, as a priority, comprising the entire oeuvre of the Polish Bard (no such complete edition of works by Słowacki has appeared till this very day). Discussed herein are: the overall assumptions of the project, defined as it is as a ‘popular-critical’ edition (with a strong emphasis on ‘critical’); the edition’s content; the arrangement of works (incl. problems concerning ‘original’ alternative redactions); the scope and character of accompanying critical apparatus (notes on the text; dating remarks; variants; editors’ explanatory notes/footnotes).
