Censorship of Literature in Post-War Poland in the Light of
Confidential Bulletins for Censors from 1945 to 1956, reconstructs
and presents ways to censor literature (and, contextually, other
fields of art) submitted for evaluation to the main censorship
office in Poland during the first 11 years after WWII. The source
material consists of confidential Bulletins - periodicals addressed
to the officials of the censorship office. The book is divided into
three main parts, each preceded by an introduction and concluded
with an extensive bibliography. Part One: In Search of a
Definition: What Were the Confidential Bulletins for Censors?
Characteristics of the Source Material presents basic information
about the Bulletins - their goals, structure, and material
presented in them. The analysis concludes with the definition of
confidential Bulletins of the censorship office. Part Two:
Literature and Current Literary Phenomena Preconstructs the image
of literary life presented in the Bulletins from 1945 to 1956. On
numerous occasions, the Bulletins provided helpful guidelines in
censorship practice. They discussed the job of dealing with
literary texts and often gave examples of works published just a
few months earlier or those that had not passed the scrutiny. The
Bulletins published materials discussing literary phenomena and
other issues. The ones previously unaccounted for (including film,
radio and theatre), as well as the institutional background of
control, I discuss briefly in the last part - Camera Censorica.
What Else was Discussed in the Bulletins?. The materials presented
in these confidential periodicals came from the Bulletins
headquarters, field offices, and the work of censors. At the end of
my study, Author let the censors speak. In the chapter Before the
Proper Summary, or... the Censor as an Artist: The Literary Work of
the Functionaries of Mysia Street and Its Environs, Author cite
evidence of the literary ambitions of political functionaries - as
censors had been called in the 1950s.
