Pozna Polish Studies, Literary Series is a long-established yearbook of literary
criticism published by the Institute of Polish Philology at the Adam Mickiewicz University in
Pozna, in cooperation with the Publishing House of the Pozna Society of the Friends of
Learning. The yearbook is included in the list of journals approved by the Polish Ministry of
Science and Higher Education; in the professional evaluation procedure, the Ministry awards
9 points for a publication in the yearbook.
The first issue of Pozna Polish Studies was published in 1973 and was edited by a
team supervised by Professor Tadeusz Witczak. In 1994 the journal was divided into
Literary Series and Linguistic Series. At that moment, Barbara Judkowiak, Elbieta
Nowicka, and Barbara Sienkiewicz were appointed as editors. Another change was made in
2002, when Przemysaw Czapliski, Zbigniew Przychodnia, and Piotr liwiski became
editors. All teams, however, contributed to the journals reputation for sound editorial
practice, careful observation of changes in research trends, and openness to different points of
view. This tradition is being continued by Wiesaw Wydra, Marcin Jaworski, and Piotr
niedziewski, who have been managing the journal since 2009.
At present, every issue of Pozna Polish Studies, Literary Series has a monographic
quality; this means that the main section of the journal issue is devoted to a topic selected by
editors. Other topics are covered in the section on critical analysis and interpretation, called
Confrontations, where various literary epochs and authors are discussed, but always in a
fine display of philological workmanship. The section on critical sketches, called Readings
is equally important; it includes not mere summaries, announcements, or reviews, but more of
a sound discussion and polemic exchange related to publications in literary criticism. Another
section, called Transfer, is devoted to translations, with their inestimable importance for
popularization of various research methods, or interpretative approaches. Another section,
related to archival and library searches, is called Discoveries; it presents the state of current
textual and documentary research. For an intellectual dessert, each issue includes an extensiveessay in the sectional called Attempts.
