The reception of Czesław Miłosz’s poetry by students of primary, lower secondary and upper secondary schools

The works of Czesław Miłosz are usually regarded as “especially difficult” literature. It is therefore important to examine how young people analyse and interpret selected works of the poet. The article presents the results of a study evaluating the quality of reception of Miłosz’s poetry by students at all levels of compulsory education prior to the Czesław Miłosz Year in 2011. The study enabled the assessment of students’ knowledge of the life and work of Miłosz and the reading competencies required by a modern student to analyse and interpret his literary work.
