ІДЕЙНО-ЕСТЕТИЧНІ ПОЗИЦІЇ ПРЕДСТАВНИКІВ ПОЛЬСЬКОЇ ПОЕТИЧНОЇ ГРУПИ „СКАМАНДР”

Abstract

The literary life of the whole Western Europe considerably revived in the first half of the twentieth century. This influenced the dynamic development of publishing, dramaturgical, literary activity of Polish artists and their search for new forms of expression of reality. A unique phenomenon of the interwar period a twenty years in Poland was the emergence of a new poetic movement “Scamander”. This movement was closely linked to reality and conveyed the spirit of the era. However, each of the representatives of the Scamander movement performed it in their own way at different stages of their work and according to their own inner world. Soon, on the basis of the poets-innovators’ worldview, a magazine of the same name was created, which united the supporters of the poetry of “everyday life”. The scamandrites introduced unprecedented motives into the image of everyday life: spontaneity, vitalism, biologism, etc. and were distinguished primarily by the fact that the early stage of their work fell on the key events of national liberation and independence of Poland. The main representatives of this poetic group were Julian Tuvim, Jan Lechon, Kazimierz Wiezynski, Yaroslav Ivashkevych and Antoni Slonimski. In the article the author focuses on the ideological and aesthetic positions of the representatives of the Polish poetic group “Scamander”. The basic themes of the works of Yulian Tuvim, Jan Lehon, Antoni Slonimski, Yaroslav Ivashkevych, Kazimir Vezhynsky at different stages of their activity are emphasized. The article identifies the general literary trends of the representatives of this poetic group and differences in the perception of interwar reality. The originality of each of the authors of the group was noted in the search for public truth. The important role that Scamander played in the literary life of the interwar period is determined.
