Emigracyjna epistolografia (1945-1989). Rekonesans

The article is devoted to Polish emigrants’ correspondence after the Second World War. The author indicates the lack of research on emigration epistolography although emigration letters are successively published. He also points to the most important areas of emigration correspondence research based on papers by Brigitte Diaz and by Paweł Rodak. First of all the author devotes attention to the textuality of these letters because in his opinion the most important function of these letters is a preservation of language outside of the country.
