Abstract

The author makes an attempt to show that a drama of rejection, being a frequent phenomenon in biographies of great Romanticists, was also one of the main motifs of Juliusz Słowacki’s writings. He himself was also convinced that he was “structuring drama” with his life. The sphere of Romantic eroticism is largely extended in his biography. A personal drama of a poet-Romantic was completed by his desire of fame rejected by the contemporaries. It even took on the form of a failed battle with Stanisław Ropelewski. The drama of rejection, however, was far from the truth, when reading a description of Słowacki’s writings in a critical article (Kilka słów…), and a private correspondence with Zygmunt Krasiński.
