My marvellings

Moje zdziwienia/My Marvellings/ is a column run by Henryk Markiewicz, retired Professor of the Jagiellonian University and one of the most outstanding Polish literary historians and theoreticians. In his essays, Professor Markiewicz presents and discusses various literary theory publications, comments on current events at the academia, argues with and questions authors of scholarly and popular articles, all the time being indefatigable in his insistence on respecting standards of academic professionalism, competence, honesty and responsibility for judgments and opinions expressed. This time Henryk Markiewicz focuses his critical attention on Alina Nowicka-Jeżowa’s article Polish humanities traditions: burden or opportunity? Studies on Polish literature, Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz’s essay on Adam Mickiewicz (Mickiewicz in the wonderland), and Krzysztof Stępnik’s book on Józef Ignacy Kraszewski.
