Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt at applying the concept of minor literature, borrowed from thejoint works of Deleuze and Guattari, to read Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz’s Żmut. The starting point is the question of whether speaking up by the essayist for a repressed history of Polish romanticism and the over looked actresses of the biography of Mickiewicz qualifies as an attempt to write a “minor” history. However, the purpose of the article is a reflection on the analytical utility of the notion of “minor literature” and the risks (alsopolitical ones) inherent in philological practice based on this notion.
