Summary/Abstract: The article constitutes an attempt at analysis of the most significant changes in the realm of genology which occurred in the period since antiquity until the classical period following the reign of Stanisław II August. The author traces the phenomenon of genologicaldecadence, placing it in the sphere of ancient postulates, which, in the following periods,had been either replicated or superseded by new tendencies. The primary research material comprises of Enlightenment poetics formulated by Filip Neriusz Golański, Franciszek Ksawery Dmochowski, Ignacy Krasicki and others, which are then contrasted with genological principles of Plato or Diomede. Thus, the central problem of “lateness” or “maturity” of the antiquity as an epoch constitutive for the definition and systematization of genres relies upon the mutual permeation of influences and reconfiguring old norm with thehelp of the new ones.
