TY - JOUR TI - Historian in critic, critic in historian AU - Walas, Teresa TI - Historian in critic, critic in historian AB - The article elaborates on the thesis saying that in Jan Błoński’s writings comes in a very fruitful way to reconciliation of two figures of literary criticism discourse: the literary historian and critic. The author discusses two factors that make this possible; the first is a combination of emotional attitude with and intellectual research practice, the second is a kind Błoński’s bifocalism, in other words an easiness in changing the perspective, the ability to simultaneously maintain in the field of view the both ranges – near and far, thus a generalising formula shows through a individual interpretation, and a detailed and static description also becomes a part of the broad and moving image.   VL - 2014 IS - Issue 4 (22) 2014: Czytanie Błońskiego PY - 2015 SN - 1897-1962 C1 - 2084-395X SP - 15 EP - 22 DO - 10.4467/2084395XWI.14.042.3451 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/wieloglos/article/historyk-w-krytyku-krytyk-w-historyku KW - Błoński Jan KW - history of literature KW - literary criticism
