Wzniosłe, piękne i polskie. O poszukiwaniu stylu narodowego w masowych wydaniach tomików poetyckich w II Rzeczpospolitej

Journal Title: Kultura Popularna - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 47

Abstract

Twentieth‑century literary transfer was effected mainly through written and printed texts. Walter Ong He stated that ‘the condition of words in the text is very different from their condition in spoken discourse’ and gave rise to treat the phenomenon of writing and printing in a wider perspective as a trans‑disciplinary issue. Analyzing literary culture ‘through’ the book has rich traditions in Polish scientific literature (a.o. Janusz Dunin, Stefan Żółkiewski). Inlibization of literary texts presupposes the existence of a market that by their proper mechanisms (inputs, robe editorial, advertising etc.) strives to meet the needs and creating mass tastes. In the interwar period many graphic studios were very active (for example Koło Artystów Grafików Reklamowych, Atelier Girs‑Barcz, Levitt‑Him, Atelier ‘Mewa’), they caused interesting issues connected with typographic shape of high volume book. Searching of national style in literary book was very important for many artists and graphic designers (for example Zofia Stryjeńska, Jerzy Skoczylas, Tadeusz Cieślewski, Stanisław Szukalski and many others). Particularly interesting were attempts to connect elements of high culture with repeatable and typical elements of mass culture. Volumes of poetry are the great example of connecting different levels of culture. The aim of this article is to point attempts searching ‘national style’ and popularization of patriotic elements on the example of books of poetry which were published by the commercial houses in the interwar Poland.<br/><br/>
