These relationships are considered from the perspective of genetic criticism and are situated within the framework of critical reflection on the processual nature of creating a literary work (écriture). The subsequent stages of the analyzed writing process reveal the author’s complex presence both on the level of text-creating activities and in biographical dimensions.
