Komparatystyka Mariana Szyjkowskiego
Marian Szyjkowski’s Comparative Studies

Summary/Abstract: The author of the paper sketches a profile of a Polish comparative studies professor, emphasising the period of his creativity in the Czech Republic as a researcher of Polish-Czech literary relationship and reception of Polish literature in the Czech Republic. She also tries to explain Szyjkowski’s opus magnum reception history, the first part of which “(Polská účast v českém národním obrození <Polish Participation in the Czech National Revival>,” vol. 1–3) met with positive reception, while the second trilogy, referring to the former and concerning the role of the Polish Romanticism in the Czech spiritual life “(Adam Mickiewicz v Čechách <Adam Mickiewicz in the Czech Republic>,” “Zikmund Krasiński v české literatuře <Zygmunt Krasiński in Czech Literature>,” and “Juliusz Słowacki w Czechach <Juliusz Słowacki in the Czech Republic>”) still remains typewritten and is presumably unknown since it is unmentioned by the contemporary Czech romanticity (romantično) researchers.
