Abstract
In her article, Alina Kowalczykowa analyses in detail the biography of Adam Mickiewicz (1798–1855). She is particularly interested in his relationship with Maryla Wereszczakówna (1799–1863) and the proper period of triggering their first acquaintance which later developed into romantic love, at the same time becoming a somewhat literary legend. According to Kowalczykowa, their relationship still raises keen interest and doubts among researchers since there is no unison towards the basic issue: when did they meet, when did they fall in love? The subject still remains delicate. Even throughout the poet’s life it was the subject of silence. Any sort of arrangement is based on the reconstruction of events which (for the sake of discretion) nobody ever described properly. As a result, the basis for the story about Mickiewicz and Wereszczakówna’s love comprises minor references drawn from Philomaths’ letters and reminiscences. They are accidental and lame. It is not always possible to put them in coherent whole.
