Pomiędzy znanym a nowym. Nie tylko młodopolskie echa w liryce Jadwigi Gamskiej-Łempickiej

This paper, which is devoted to the poetic unveiling of Jadwiga Gamska-Lempicka,a forgotten female poet, translator, and editor of the interwar period, aims to evoke the character of her poetry. It is also an attempt at presenting her various texts. Closely influenced by the Young Poland movement, she was in constant dialogue with concepts taken from the Skamander Group or avant-garde poetics. However, since she used the prerogatives her education had given her, Gamska should be treated not only as a Young Poland epigone: as a doctor of letters, she was strongly aware that her poetry was a successful collage of poetic conceptions that were often starkly different from one other and tailored to her individual expression, discreetly but visibly breaking with concepts that had been taken from the poetry of Leopold Staff or Maryla Wolska. A closer look at the three volumes of Gamska’s poetry is also a significant attempt at filling one of the many gaps in the study of women’s lyrics published before the Second World War.
