Abstract

It would surely not be an exaggeration to state that the writings of Stanisław Brzozowski and the intricate story of their afterlife represent one of the most fascinating chapters in Polish intellectual history of the twentieth century. Brzozowski died of consumption in Florence in 1911; his last years had been overshadowed by his ever worsening illness, by his increasingly disastrous material situation—and by the accusation of being an informer of the tsarist secret police, a charge leveled against him in several Polish socialist newspapers in April 1908.
