Abstract

This paper brings an overview of Polish literary history, composed using a chronological literary-historic principle, and made for the purposes of an encyclopaedic overview. Types of information and their analysis are therefore adjusted to the genre of the general encyclopaedia and its macropaedic structure. The purpose of such a comprehensive overview is a brief, yet substantial insight into the main course of Polish national literature, given its key literary-historic periods, protagonists and canonical literary works. Although directed didactically in terms of reception, it is encyclopaedically thought of as being a treasure trove of basic Polish-studies literary-historic knowledge.
