Summary/Abstract: The work is devoted to the comparative presentation of Ugo Foscolo and CyprianNorwid – two outstanding representatives of the 19th-century Polish and Italian literature,respectively. Despite the obvious differences between them, such as belonging to differentliterary generations and the ideological and national entanglements of their lives and work,significant similarities between the artists (in the aspect of their works, biographical modelsand a similar individual stigma) are thought-provoking. Moreover, the ambiguity of assigningNorwid and Foscolo to one literary period still inspires polemics among literature researchers.
