On Norwid’s poetical definitions (transl. by Tadeusz Karłowicz)

Abstract

The author discusses Tomasz Korpysz's book Definicje poetyckie Norwida (Norwid's poetical definitions). He first of all pays attention to a great cognitive value of the work that is the result of both reliable theoretical elaboration of the category of “poetical definition”, and a convincing analysis of this phenomenon in selected areas of Norwid's poetry.
