Korespondencja między Józefem Wittlinem i Romanem Brandstaetterem
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2012) Zajączkowski, Ryszard
Preserved correspondence between Józef Wittlin and Roman Brandstaetter comprising 27 letters and postcards dated since the end of the 1950s is a testimony of their acquaintance since the middle of the 1920s and also of the epoch they both lived in. In those letters three topics are dominating, namely: exile, Assisi and literature. Wittlin was in New York as a political immigrant without any chance to return to Poland and in the case of Brandstaetter exile meant being on the margin of the writers’ environment and harassment of various sort from the authorities. The author of "Sól ziemi" ("Salt of land") inspired Brandstaetter’s interest in saint Francis of Assisi which later was abundantly reflected in the young writer’s literary output. In their correspondence Assisi often returns as a spiritual enclave against the chaos of the world, a space for moral revival and for happiness. Both writers also knew well and appreciated each other’s literary works. Brandstaetter viewed Wittlin as his literary mentor and confidant in difficult experiences and a judge in moral matters. In turn Wittlin willingly read Brandstaetter’s pieces and praised them because he found something of his own spirit and esthetical inclinations in them.
Nauka w relacji Pigonia i jego korespondentów
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Maślanka, Julian
The article describes in detail the book by Czesław Kłak, “Pigoń” (the Rzeszów University Publishing House, Rzeszów 2013, 612 pp.). The book is a rarity in the Polish humanities because it presents not only the profile of Stanisław Pigoń (1885-1968), one of the most renowned historians of Polish literature, but also a history of Polish literature studies over the course of about 60 years of the 20th century. The main part of the book is based on the correspondence between Pigoń and other scholars and eminent personages of the time: Roman Pollak, Julian Krzyżanowski, Tadeusz Mikulski, Czesław Zgorzelski, Maria Danilewiczowa as well as Bishops Ignacy Świrski and Czesław Falkowski. The book also contains a discussion of Pigoń’s diaries and memoirs, and the Appendix with two polemic articles in defence of Pigoń against imaginary charges of anti-Semitism.
O listach Jana Lechonia i Kazimierza Wierzyńskiego (Kilka uwag na marginesie przygotowania edycji krytycznej)
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2012) Dorosz, Beata
This article presents the problems faced by an editor preparing a correspondence dialogue between Jan Lechoń and Kazimierz Wierzyński (237 mainly handwritten letters from 1941-1956) for a critical edition, among others, the issue of completeness, dating, reading of the autograph. It signalizes some of the appearing motifs and problems in the letters, making an initial attempt to interpret them in the context of biographies of both authors and historical events (especially the experiences of emigration). Moreover, it contains seventeen short poetic pieces (poems, epigrams and trifles) by both poets which may be found among other contents on the pages of those letters. They have been read from the handwritten manuscripts and edited and therefore they appear in print for the very first time.
Obraz Ameryki w opublikowanej korespondencji Czesława Miłosza z lat 1945-1950
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2011) Kołodziejczyk, Ewa
The article reconstructs the portrait of the United States of America depicted in the published correspondence of Czesław Miłosz from the years 1945-1950. The article discusses the circumstances that caused the poet to undertake his job as a diplomat abroad and motivations of his decision. The article analyses also a variety of opinions discussed by environments of both Polish and émigré writers related to that decision. Finally, it marks the changes that occurred in Miłosz’s attitude towards the autobiography he wrote and duties he performed after the war. The article compares the poet’s juvenile visions of the United States with the reality he faced after his arrival to the New World. The article discusses also the culture shock and slow process of acclimatization the poet experienced and treated, on the intellectual level, as a process of rejecting the materialistic perception of American culture in favor of the perception of its symbolic aspects. The article discusses the subsequent stages and elements of the self-education process undertaken by Miłosz through not only extensive reading but also his translations from Englishlanguage literature, literary and sociopolitical journalism discussing American issues but published in Polish magazines and finally – his organizational work for publishing industry and academic institutions. The conclusion of the article presents the poet as a mediator between the Old and the New World he became just before his return to Europe.

(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2012) Głębicka, Ewa
The publication of Maria Dąbrowska "Diaries" allowed to look at the writer from a new, previously unknown perspective; her diary became one of the most important testimonies of contemporary times. A huge surprise for the historians of literature was vast correspondence of the writer numbering many thousands pieces in the following years.

The latter set numbering over 3100 letters, approved for publication due to the decision of heirs, will be published unabridged in years 2016-22; works on the first volume (1943-45) are significantly in progress. Among the sets designed for publication in the near future there is also the one with Kazimierz Wierzyński. This article discusses the most important sets of letters from and to Dąbrowska indicating their factual wealth and biographical specificity.
Siedleckie rekolekcje (ks. bp Ignacy Świrski - prof. Stanisław Pigoń)
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2012) Kłak, Czesław
The project of encoding Stanisław Pigoń’s correspondence has included letters exchanged between Professor Stanisław Pigoń (1885-1968) and Bishop Ignacy Świrski (1885-1968) in years 1933-1967. 75 letters written by Świrski and only 3 by Pigoń were preserved but they allowed to recreate the history of the friendship between the heroes of this story and even to reach deeper, beyond the cited and published in full letters, in order to answer the question: what cultural, historical and ideological circumstances brought those two individuals closer to each other and what values laid the foundations for their friendship?
