Czarny humor w świadomości krytycznej dwudziestolecia międzywojennego

Abstract

The work attempts to reconstruct that area of critical awareness of the inter-war period which was formed in reaction to changes in the contemporary culture of humour. Those changes were caused by the popularity of various kinds of the so called “black humour” that started growing after the World War I. Reconstruction of the system of views on the comic discourse, which in the first half of the 20* century was freąuently referred to as macabre or grim, was done on the basis of abundant materiał provided by reviews and other kinds of discussions on literary, theatrical, film and artistic works from that period.
