Summary/Abstract: A person of and works by Antoni Gorecki (1787—1861) rarely remained within the scope ofinterest of the researchers of the Polish literature. However, it is the fact that he used to belong tothe select group of the most widely‑read and popular poets. He had written ten books of poemswhich, unfortunately, did not remain in the memory of the descendants. It was certainly because ofthe depreciative evaluation the books received by some of the historians of the Polish literature andthe fact that the very output, in majority, boils down to the frames of the occasional writing whichlost a lot of its up‑to‑dateness with time, and, thus, many readers considered it little interesting andeven incomprehensible.The author of the article hopes that the critical reedition of works by this poet from Vilnius willmake it possible to derive his writing from the darkness of forgetting. It is never theless extremely in‑teresting and constitutes an important area in the literary map of the first half of the 19th century.
