W poszukiwaniu prawdy o tym, co jest przedmiotem badań. Profesor Maria Wichowa w moich oczach

Abstract

[In search of the truth about what is the object of research. Professor Maria Wichowa in my eyes] The author presents Professor Maria Wichowa, a literary historian from Łódź, who the latest issue of “Rocznik Przemyski. Literatura i Język” is dedicated to. The author does not focus on the Professor’s biography, however, but on a few selected academic achievements, with a view to presenting the Professor as an organizer of academic life, a person, someone whose life has been a perfect embodiment of a university professor. The main motif of the discussion concerns the links between the circles of Łódź and Przemyśl, which – after the death of Professor Jerzy Starnawski – Professor Wichowa has been maintaining and developing. Besides emphasizing Professor Maria Wichowa’s activity at the Łódzkie Towarzystwo Naukowe (Łódź Learned Society) and the Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Nauk w Przemyślu (Society of the Friends of Learning in Przemyśl), the author focuses on his own personal relationship with the protagonist of his article.
