O wartości literatury w świetle aforyzmów i korespondencji Adolfa Dygasińskiego / On the Value of Literature in the Light of Adolf Dygasinski’s Aphorisms and Correspondence

Journal Title: Zagadnienia Rodzajów Literackich - Year 2017, Vol 60, Issue 2

Abstract

Adolf Dygasiński methodically developed writing meticulous aphorisms. He cherished the intention to write a vast theoretical study on literature, author, reader and the book. The sketched adages were to help him as central themes for particular chapters. Although the substantial part of this collection is characterized by stylistic negligence (the indicator of a sketch) there exists the need for a thorough inspection of the senses of aphorisms, as they include prudent and maturely thought over concepts that show the writer’s own project, which has not been expressed anywhere else by a systemic lecture and concerned the significance of literariness. Together with journalistic texts and private letters, aphorisms constituted the testimony of Dygasiński’s creative awareness.
