“Literary Memoir” has been continuously publishing since 1902, excluding the period 1039-1945, when due to the WWII the editorial activities suspended. The quarterly was meant to be a publication devoted to the history of Polish literature (and literary criticism). For many years in the world and Polish literary studies, theoretical and interdisciplinary approaches, inclined towards general cultural and comparative studies, psychoanalysis, reception history, etc.,  have been dominant. The mission of “Literary Memoir” alongside the vital element of its development is preserving the highest level of literary-historical approaches as a fundament for literary and textological studies employed to examinations of political commentary journalism, occasional and everyday statements that represent various speech genres.
