Used as an interpretative frame, the figure of the Spectre is used to highlight the role of Rymkiewicz and other poets inspired by him as the ‘posthumous’ condition. The label implies that a new community still look back to figures of Romantic fiction for an ideal reference point and hangout sign. It is also worth noting that items picked up in the romantic storage room undergo a though ideological and political face-lift. A closer look at the literary strategies employed in ‘Upiór’ leads to the conclusion that although Rymkiewicz offers us Romanticism simplified, its seductive force is undiminished, and so are the consequences. In this sense the metaphoric pre-sentation of Rymkiewicz as a Spectre communing with the living in the ceremony of Dziady can help us to better understanding of the poet’s impact not only on literature but also on the broad sphere of public imagination.}, type={Artykuł}, title={The poet’s spectral presence: The poem ‘Spectre’ and Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz’s life after death}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/134021/2024-03-RL-06.pdf}, keywords={Contemporary Polish literature, 20th century poetry, Romantic ghosts, national tradition, Polish imaginarium, legacy and adaptation, Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz (1935–2022)}, }
