Abstract

Apart from the rules of scientific editing in the new edition of Zygmunt Krasiński’s works, the contemporary roles of editing and book market must be considered. The main aim of our project is to reintroduce the legacy of the author of Irydion to a wide circle of readers. The new critical edition of Krasiński’s works is supposed to consist of ten volumes. It is going to be published as a whole, once, and edited by the research team of workers and co-workers of Zakład Edytorstwa i Tekstologii Dzieł Literackich UMK and Wydawnictwo Naukowe UMK, in cooperation with researchers from other seats of learning. The group is going to excavate the existing archival resources, collect a complete documentation, prepare texts’ basis, new translations of francophone works, explanatory notes and a critical apparatus, attached to a data carrier appended to each volume.
