An important component of this syncretic text is variousforms of references to works from a literary tradition: allusions, quotations, paraphrases, interpreta‑tive comments, particular genre‑stylistic conventions, motives, scenes, and characters. The articlegives examples of the references to among others Flis by S.F. Klonowic, Podróże historyczne poziemiach polskich miedzy rokiem 1811 a 1818 odbytych by J.U. Niemcewicz, Pieśń o ziemi naszejby W. Pol, Konrad Wallenrod and Pan Tadeusz by A. Mickiewicz, Lilla Weneda by J. Słowacki,Przedświt by Z. Krasiński and Faust by J.W. Goethe.
