Abstract

The article concentrates on the strategies of hiding the authorship of a literary text in the interwar period. Many writers were interested in textual games and experiments that did not allow readers to identify the author right away. The strategies under discussion include: plagiarism (conscious and concealed appropriating another person’s work), mystifi cation (signing a text with another person’s surname), parody (imitating the style of another author) and pseudonym (signing a text with a name different from one’s own). The examples have been taken from selected works by Wacław Sieroszewski, Wincenty Rzymowski, Stefan Krzywoszewski, Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz, Jan Emil Skiwski, Ferdynand Goetel, Julian Tuwim, Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński and others.
