The article presents an attempt to reconstruct the poet Bolesław Leśmian’s comparative awareness on the basis of what he wrote in his essays. The comparison of Leśmian’s views with H. M. Posnett’s Comparative Literature, translated by Z. Daszyńska and published in Warsaw in 1896, indicates significant similarities in thinking about literature and culture. The article also discusses Leśmian’s perception of world literature, his understanding of literary translation as well as his usage of comparison and the category of influence. The additional context for the research was provided by the 19th-century anthropology, comparative law and economics. |
