Comparing the incomarable

The presented book is a contribution to the discussion about modernity and comparatistics in Norwid’s works, going on for about two decades. This publication was created by Polish specialists on Norwid, half of them affiliated with the Jagiellonian University. There is no predominant method in the volume under discussion — the range of subjects covers modernity and the transition between the epochs. What is left of the comparatistics proper is music and opera, visual arts, conceptual reflection, and translation issues.
