The poet offered them as a gift to Maryla Wolska who deposited them in the Michał Pawlikowski Archives at Medyka. With access to the fi rst, nearly complete, collection we can get an insight into the process of selecting poems for the version that was to go to print (1899–1901). As most of the poems are dated, we are able to establish their sequence and reconstruct the changing concept of their selection. Of special value are twelve poems which had been dropped in the process, and for most part remained unpublished. Each of them is presented briefl y in the article. Apart from making this discovery, the article demonstrates that Leopold Staff’s debut volume as we know it had an earlier version with a set of poems, different from the one that was earmarked for publication under that title.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={An alternative version of Leopold Staff’s debut volume “The Dreams of Power” on the basis of manuscript analysis}, URL={http://so.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/113530/PDF-MASTER/RL%202-19%205-Zabawa.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rl.2019.130037}, keywords={Polish literature of the early 20th century, Young Poland poets, manuscript inedita, Leopold Staff (1878–1957)}, }
