Abstract

This article discusses Marek Stanisz’s book Światy i życie. Metafory poezji w polskiej krytyce literackiej doby romantyzmu [Worlds and Life. Metaphors of Poetry in Polish Literary Criticism of the Romantic Era]. The review emphasises the immense documentary and analytical value of this monograph, especially the broad discussion of statements made by Romantic literary critics about poetry and the concept of the poet. At the same time, the review polemicises with the claim that original metaphors constitute the semantic core of Polish Romantic criticism.

Keywords:
