Xavier Forneret odczytany przez surrealistów i czytany Norwidem
Xavier Forneret Interpreted by Surrealists and Seen Through Norwid’s Writing

Summary/Abstract: The author discusses the history of Xavier Forneret’s (1809–1884) reception focusingon the trend which portrayed the Romantic as a surrealist and a precursor of vers libre. Atthe heart of the considerations there is the volume Vapeurs, ni vers, ni prose (1838) regardedas exceptional in both the publishing format and the content. The author, however, arguesthat the poet’s innovation can also be seen in his presentation of typically romantic themes:love, death, poetic vocation, as well as oneiric poetics. The last part of the article isa comparative analysis of the Forneret’s poem “Elle” and Cyprian Norwid’s poem “Polka”[Polish Woman], which allows showing both romantic anticipations and traditional formsof poetic description of a woman.
