The book offers eight case studies, covering selected problems and works from Renaissance up to the present day. Each chapter draws on a literary text(s) or problems, examining its historical context, as well as its Polish reception and presence in contemporary (pop)culture. The volume delineates a dual perspective, combining original readings of key texts with discussions of their relationship to contemporary theories of literary and linguistic studies, and important phenomena in Polish history.
