Outside appropriation and recovery

Abstract

The year of 2012 was very fruitful for Stanisław Brzozowski: six of his novels were published in two hefty volumes. Wydawnictwo Literackie , the publisher of this edition, keeps up with the (Krytyka Polityczna), which in recent years has vigorously taken up the task of preserving the legacy of the author of Płomienie (“Flames”). Andrzej Mencwel has replaced Mieczysław Sroka as the editor of Dzieła (“Works”), with most editorial work done by Maciej Urbanowski. The latter also prepared the anthology Jest Bóg, żyje prawda. Inna twarz Stanisława Brzozowskiego (“There Is a God, the Truth Lives On. Another Face of Stanislaw Brzozowski”), published in the same year by Fronda. This book presents Brzozowski in context close to Catholic, national and conservative thought. The text is a brief discussion of the specifics of Urbanowski’s anthology against the backdrop of the recent history of the reception of Brzozowski.
