Popis: After 1918 it was by no means uncommon for literary critics of renown to give up their familiar pursuits and move on to new fields. This article traces and brings to light the largely forgotten literary criticism of Władysław Jabłonowski, better known as an influential politician and journalist. He had made his name as a prolific literary critic with the rising tide of the Young Poland movement, but, as life resumed in an independent Poland, he scaled down his activity in that field quite considerably. Moreover, he abandoned the ‘empathic’ model of Modernist criticism for a steady commitment to classical aesthetics, especially as it manifested itself in French literature, of which he was always a great admirer. In this new phase he remained invariably loyal to nationalist ideology and a mythologized idea of ‘the West’.
