W granicach psychopatologii? Szkolna recepcja Brunona Schulza w okresie stalinowskim

After World War II, under the Marxist ideological pressure, the works of Bruno Schulz had no chance to be included in Polish literature reading list at school. He was one of the writers referred to as “bourgeois,” escaping from reality to the world of fantasy. Following such premises, the author of the first textbook focusing on the literature of the interwar period accused Schulz of hating humanity and progress as well as too much stress on form. That tone became somewhat less aggressive in the next textbook, written by Ryszard Matuszewski, who continued the official line but on the other hand treated Schulz more apologetically.
