The title of our journal announces the format and thematic scope of the forthcoming issues. We hope to publish texts devoted to literary and cultural output related to the interwar period.
The academic profile of Czytanie dwudziestolecia is determined by literary studies with special emphasis put on the interwar period as a cultural phenomenon, which might be an object of an interdisciplinary reflection. This, as we hope, might be dedicated – but not limited – to such issues as:
- literary and cultural output of the interwar period read in a diachronic perspective in such contexts as history, philosophy, sociology, geopolitics, or the arts;
- re-readings of the highly acclaimed works of the period using innovative methodologies and modern contexts;
- in-depth readings of the selected works;
- readings of marginal yet interesting works, unwillingly discussed or entirely neglected in literary history;
- genre criticism in the context of the interwar period: transformations, experimentations, idiosyncrasies;
- memory and testimony (authors, genres, manuscripts, archives);
- literary culture and the position of a writer in the interwar period; diverse aspects of literary, theatrical, music, or film culture from 1918 to 1939 and their advocates;
- Polish and international reception of the interwar period in contemporary literature;
- the interwar popular culture;
- comparative studies; the interwar period and European literature; the interwar period and the World literature.
Abstract
This text is a review of Magdalena Amroziewicz's book Poza krąg Kwadrygi. Światopogląd poetycki Władysława Sebyły i Lucjana Szenwalda, Towarzystwo Autorów i Wydawców Prac Naukowych UNIVERSITAS, Kraków 2023. It seems that the work under review may be beneficial not only for scholarly purposes but also for academic teaching due to its richness of material and the clarity and precision of its exposition. The reflections presented in the book demonstrate the contemporary relevance of Sebyła's and Szenwald's poetry—poetry that can effectively speak to the searching sensibilities faced with ideological crises.
