Zenon Przesmycki wśród młodopolskich „wskrzesicieli” Norwida
Zenon Przesmycki Among the Young Poland “Revivers” of Norwid

Summary/Abstract: The author argues that a role of Zenon Przesmycki in the process of bringing backCyprian Norwid to the Polish literary life is slightly overestimated. At the turn of the 19th andthe 20th centuries on the Polish lands, the reception of French symbolism took place, whichdetermined the perception of the author of Vade-mecum working in Paris (since 1849) asa great precursor of intellectual “visual poetry”. However, by making Norwid a strictlyRomantic poet, the generation of the Young Poland artists effectively distanced themselvesfrom artistic borrowings associated with Baudelaire, Verlaine, etc., thus obtaining the effectof the “nativeness” of modern Polish poetry at that time.
