Àngel Guimerà – czy tylko dobro narodowe Katalończyków?*
Àngel Guimerà – A National Treasure – For Catalan Only?

Summary/Abstract: This article is concerned with literature created in Spain in the minority anguage of Catalan, examining the question of whether this literature could ever overcome its stereotypical reputation as peripheral. The article is also concerned with the reception of this literature, both from synchronic perspective – contemporaneous with Catalan playwright Àngel Guimerà, in Catalonia, Spain and abroad – and the diachronic perspective of the turn of the 20th century. The impetus to address this topic has come from renewed and ultimately unsuccessful attempts by Àngel Guimerà’s compatriots to nominate him for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
