Michał Bałucki’s Literary Disputes

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to summarise critical responses of Michał Bałucki, the author of the essay “O różnych modach w literaturze powieściowej” [“About Different Fashions in Literature”] (1894), concerning modernism and the criticism expressed about his own works by the critics of the Young Poland movement. The literary feud takes on the most tragic end possible. As a context for her reflections, the author of this article utilises the category of literary agon, which turns out to be a very illuminating idea when applied to describing the artistic achievements of the last decade of the playwright’s life.
