O użyteczności poezji „na marginesie cywilizacji” – casus Tytusa Chyliczkowskiego

Abstract

Occasional poetry is one of the assets of provincial weeklies. “Tydzień”, published between 1873–1906 in Piotrków, was a particularly rich source of occasional poems. Its contributors included Faustyn Świderski and the Warsaw-based judge Tytus Chyliczkowski (1834–1894). Te latter’s poetry, rooted in the positivist axiology, also displays certain characteristics of the Biedermeier period in that it shows the daily life of men freed from patriotic duty. Apparently, Chyliczkowski’s published literary output is only a fraction of what he lef behind in the form of handwritten poems. Of note are Chyliczkowski’s elegies, epitaphs, and epicedia commemorating deceased people of Piotrków, from famous ones (the Stronczyński brothers) to prematurely perishing children. The funeralia, aimed both as memoirs and as condolences, are consolatory in tone, hoping for “eschatological well-being” and posthumous contentment.
