English, French and Polish Biographical Traditions: An Introduction

Summary/Abstract: Nasiłowska outlines the development of European modernist biographical writing (Strachey, Maurois) and its reception in interwar Poland (Polish examples include Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński). This trend is juxtaposed with the scepticism with which biography was met after the structural turn, which had a profound impact on Polish literary studies. Having presented this historical backdrop, Nasiłowska discusses the work of literary historian Julian Krzyżanowski, an expert on European and Polish biography and a moderate supporter of the biographical method.
