Nowelistyka Władysława Orkana wobec młodopolskich „izmów”

Abstract

The article describes novellas by Władysław Orkan, situating them against the background of aesthetic and stylistic conventions dominant during the Young Poland period. Such analysis demonstrates that Orkan’s prose constitutes a synthesis of the modernist genre conventions with the earlier tradition. The author points out to what in her interpretation is a novel literary device of constructing novellas on ‘intermediary structures’.
