Abstract

The theme of the eastern borderlands of Poland is one of the most recurrent motifs in Polish literature from the Romantic era onwards. From the 1980s, certain critics began to speak of the ‘current’ of the eastern borderlands in Polish literature, and in literary studies it became common to fi nd expressions such as ‘the myth of the eastern borderlands in Polish literature’, or ‘the eastern borderlands as a myth of Polish culture (or literature).’The present article aims to establish the meaning attributed to the concept of ‘the myth of the eastern borderlands’ by various Polish critics, with the objective of fi nding a common nucleus which might allow us to formulate a defi nition of the term.
