Summary/Abstract: Janusz Żarnowski belonged to the group of Polish historians who after 1956 participated in a lively scientific exchange between the Polish and French circles of historians. A combination of traditional historical methodology with Marxist cognitive perspective and fascination for the achievements of French social history and sociology made it possible for him to develop his own original methodology of historical research into the social structures and processes occurring in twentieth-century Poland. The article presents Żarnowski’s most important scholarly works on the subject and suggests their comprehensive interpretation.
