Summary: The article examines parody responses to V. A. Zhukovsky's Twelve Sleeping Maidens (1811-1817) through the works of I. V. Protashinsky, A. A. Voeikova, and S. P. Shevyrev. Protashinsky's parody Twelve Sleeping Butoshniks (1832) gained popularity, and a reference to it in Voeikova's letter allows its dating back to 1819. The article explores the history of Shevyrev's libretto for A. N. Verstovsky's opera Vadim, or the Twelve Sleeping Maidens Awakening (1832) and discusses the parodic elements in Shevyrev's adaptation of Zhukovsky's plot.

Summary: The article explores the intertextual connections of Batiushkov's verse-tale The Wanderer and the Home-Lover. Based on Batiushkov's letters, the central idea of the tale is closely linked to French maxims, particularly poetic punchlines. The protagonist's philosophical quest, which forms the foundation of the plot, culminates in his acquisition of Pyrrhon's skeptical wisdom. The study uncovers numerous borrowings from French poetry and treatises on classical Antiquity.

Summary: This paper is a contribution to the study of literature and sociology in partitioned Poland in the late 19th century. It explores the theoretical potential of Ludwik Krzywicki's concept of idea migration in comparative literature studies. The paper examines the interplay between literary criticism and sociology among the Warsaw intelligentsia and analyzes the reception of foreign anthropologists and sociologists of literature (Hutcheson Macaulay Posnett, Charles Letourneau) in these circles. It reconstructs the functional connection between literature and the social bond advocated in early sociologically based studies of comparative literature and discusses the factors that led to its disappearance in subsequent disciplinary history.

By referencing the correspondence between L. N.

Summary: This article challenges the traditional interpretation of the F24 formula as the title of the Almanac of New Art in 1924, by suggesting its earlier appearance in the lost manifestos of Jerzy Jankowski. It presents the findings of research on Polish Futurism based on archival materials and the memoirs of Jankowski's sister, shedding new light on the nature of the lost manifestos and the proclamations made by Jankowski at the Futurist club. As a result, F24 can be understood as a surprising and encompassing formula of (Polish) Futurism.
