Artur Górski i modernistyczny Lwów. Powinowactwa ideowe

Abstract

The article traces the ideological affinities between Artur Górski (1870–1959), the author of programme Młoda Polska announced in “Życie” (1898) in Cracow, and the modernist Lviv. The author concentrates on the events from the writer’s life in Lviv: his work on Słowacki’s manuscripts (Samuel Zborowski and Zawisza Czarny) in the libraries of Lviv, his continuation of the initiative of Romantic followers, including the legacy of Mickiewicz, as well as Górski’s own popularity with the youth. The article attempts to answer the question why Górski valorized Lviv at the expense of the modernist Cracow, in which his work began.
