Manierysta w nowoczesności

Abstrakt

  In the review main interpretation theses of Andrzej Niewiadomski’s monograph devoted to the writing of the outstanding emigration author from ‘the generation 1910’ Zygmunt Haupt have been presented. These are: the aesthetics of mannerism, critical diagnosis of modernity crowned with an attempt to build a constructive ethical and literary project and a thorough analysis of the key motives of his prose (including aviarium, art of mannerism, theatrum mundi, road-home, a landowner’s manor house, horses, word ‘strange’, ‘quaternary’ structures).The author presents writer’s workshop secrets and places him among the greatest representatives of Polish as well as European modernism.
