Summary/Abstract: In the book, the author focuses on conspicuous romantic traces in the works by Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz, the traditions of which may still create an image of Polishness. Despite references to well-known writings of the poet from Milanówek — “To Jaroslaw Kaczynski”, “Blood” or the so-called Polish tetralogy, the main issue of this work concerns the shrouded in mystery history of the dead, and hence the concept of necrography (the second life of the corpse). Therefore, among the protagonists of Rymkiewicz there are Lazarus, the Primate Michał Poniatowski, Samuel Zborowski, and finally the poet himself. The book constitutes the author’s commentary, sort of annotation to the artistic output of the writer, which has been subject to continuous commentaries.
