The author compares programmatic statements on language by turn-of-the-century writers such as Wacław Berent, Bolesław Leśmian, Stanisław Brzozowski or Karol Irzykowski with notions deduced from their literary works. He demonstrates that these writers’ linguistic self-consciousness informs their implicitly self-reflexive texts and sheds light on their values and characteristic qualities. The author treats Modernist literature itself as a sort of «language» – a distinct entity that emerged through systematic differentiation within the general literary discourse. The book enhances the understanding of the transformations behind this important philosophical and artistic movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoland – Twentieth-century literature – Modernism – Young Poland – Language – Subjectivity – Literary criticism – Literary theory – Self-consciousness – Self-reflexivity – Wacław Berent – Bolesław Leśmian – Stanisław Brzozowski – Karol Irzykowski.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044281712983,"sku":"9783631653425","price":37.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631653425.jpg?v=1750961124","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-language-of-polish-modernism-9783631653425","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
