Miller’s strategy of ‘overreading’. The analysis focuses on the essay ‘Moje Miasto’ [My Town], childhood recollections of Prze-myśl, and a handful of her poems. The texts, which spread out like a spider’s web, form a field, or a piece of tapestry inscribed with figures that preserve and conceal the author’s subjectivity. When properly read, they can reveal that complex profile, woven with threads of melancholic emotionality, depression and the temptation of death.}, type={Artykuł}, title={Figures of melancholy and death in the work of Jadwiga Gamska-Łempicka}, URL={http://so.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/132375/2023-05-RL-10.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rl.2023.148316}, keywords={20th-century Polish literature, women writers, subjectivity, melancholy, depression, death, Nancy K.
