Józefa Mikołajtisa „złotopotocka” legenda o hrabim Zygmuncie Krasińskim
Józef Mikołajtis’s ‘Złoty-Potok’ Legend of Count Zygmunt Krasiński

Summary/Abstract: The post-war reception of the life and oeuvre of Zygmunt Krasiński, seen from the standpoint of the priorities of the statutory activities of the ‘Adam Mickiewicz’ Literary Society [TLiAM], Branch of Częstochowa, established in 1956, is thoroughly representative of the transformations of methodological ‘attitudes and foundations’ taking place at the time in the area of literary-historical research in Poland. These developments proved decisive, to a considerable extent, to an ideological marginalisation of the output of the author of Nie-Boska komedia, who was ‘personally’ thrust down into a reactionary-conservative inexistence. It fell to the lot of Józef Mikołajtis, co-founder and longstanding chairman of the TLiAM Częstochowa Branch, to focus on the ‘Złoty-Potok’ [‘złotopotocka’] legend of Count Krasiński, coined back in the Interwar period, which – due to its anti-scientistic nature – did not even call for substantiation or challenge.
