TI - The Dream Keeper. A Study in Karol Irzykowski’s Life Writing
AB - The purpose of the article is to trace “relationships with Pałuba” through Karol Irzykowski’s dreams, or rather: the connections between Pałuba and entries in the diary of the aspiring writer from the 1890s, in which self-analysis and reflections on his own work abound with reports of dreams about Zosia Piotrowska, a cousin with whom Irzykowski was in love. The parallel between dreams about love and dreams about creativity is strong, thanks to the neo-Romantic inclinations of the young Irzykowski. It is revealing of his strong rationalism that allows his unfinished project of “dream analysis” to be placed next to Freud’s as one of the key symptoms of modernist revaluation.
