Abstract

Summary This article tries to position Henryk Elzenberg’s Problem of Existence within the tradition of Polish modernist private diary writing. Elzenberg’s diary and occasional writings is in many ways exceptional and yet it has many parallels and links with the autobiographical works of Stanisław Brzozowski, Karol Ludwik Koniński and Anna Kamieńska. It is even possible to claim that all those texts constitute a distinct modernist subgenre, defined by its form and tone used to address issues ranging from religion and rationality to the possibility of constructing a new system of thought or finding a vocabulary capable of expressing its philosophical argument.
