The purpose of the article is to give readers a survey on legal matters in Polish literature in a historical perspective. The Polish context has its specificity. Poland lost its independence by the end of the 18th century and until 1918 was partitioned by Russia, Prussia and Austria. The law in force on Polish territory was in 19th century of foreign origin. In the interwar period the democratic system collapsed after 1926 (similarly to other European countries at that time) into the authoritarian regime and the unification of law was only partly successful. All these factors influenced the perception of law and the way the legal motifs were presented in Polish literature of the 19th and 20th centuries. In the discussed novels of that time the law was not shown as an element of state identity nor a bond of social structure but on the contrary it became the element of the dark-coloured reality or the component of an external, strange and unfriendly world.
