Abstract

The article discusses the anthology ...czterdzieści i cztery. Figury literackie. Nowy kanon (Warsaw 2016) dedicated to the literary figures of women who contributed to the formation of collective imagination. One of the great assets of the reviewedvolumepublished byWomen Archive at the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences is the modern methodology. The research tools from such field as feminist critique, gender and queer studies as well as postcolonial criticism do not obliterate historical context of the analyzed works but they offer the opportunities for fresh readings of literary figures and the previously neglected literary space. Consequently, the discussed anthology succeeds in redefining Polish literary canon.
