O kosmosie Wincentego Korab-Brzozowskiego

This overview article is devoted to presenting the work of Wincenty Korab-Brzozowski in a philosophical framework (focused around the following concepts: oneirism – symbolism – decadentism), in the context of various cosmological visions from the ancient times to the early 20th century. The article is an attempt to answer the question of the aesthetic value of cosmic landscapes (composed of northern lights, the night sky with stars and the moon, phantasmagorical visions of cosmic retreats), which build the poetic space in the literary legacy of the author of "Domus aurea". The article looks at both the Polish and the French poems, as well as the only prose work – "Wśród gwiazd" ["Among the Stars"].
