Summary/Abstract: The starting point of the article is the question about the possibility of treating Adam Mickiewicz’s Widowisko as a popular drama. The author analyzes the work in terms of the genre’s rules, then wonders whether its shape was influenced by Mickie- wicz’s theatrical experiences or his reading. She then argues that Widowisko, more than theatre, was inspired by Johann Wolfgang Goethe’s Faust and Jan Śniadecki’s disserta- tion O pismach klasycznych i romantycznych (On classical and romantic writings), and that the work goes beyond the boundaries of both the drama genre and the Faustian convention.
