Subject(s): Cultural history, Studies of Literature, Polish Literature, 19th Century, Theory of Literature

Keywords: Mickiewicz; Towiański; towianism; romantic poetry
Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the problem of Towiański’s attitude to poetry. The starting point is the convictions established in the literature on the subject of Master Andrzej’s negative approach to art and the deprecating attitude to the works of poets – adepts of his science. The text is an attempt to revise the common findings expressed by outstanding literary historians such as Konrad Górski or Alina Kowalczykowa.
