Vol. 14 No. 2 (2019): Old Polish Readings. Presentations: Kamila Janiak

In the main section, authors examine the theme of “newness and the need to experiment” from the non-obvious perspective of literature written in Old Polish. Authors write, among other topics, about the architecture of Jan Kochanowski’s epigrams; the art of interpreting the works of Mikołaj Sęp-Szarzyński; the problem of the freedom in imitation; and the idea of experimentation in late-baroque poetry. In the “Presentations” section, we publish Kamila Janiak’s poems, an interview with the poet, and articles discussing her poetry. In the section entittled “Archives and Chronicles”, we publish Teodor and Eleanora Parnicki’s letters to the Banaś family, prefaced and edited by Piotr Gorliński-Kucik. The “Varia” and “Discussion and Polemics” sections complete the issue.
