„Zaczarowane koło” w streszczeniu Konecznego

Feliks Koneczny regarded Lucjan Rydel as a talented and hard-working writer. After the stage success of Zaczarowane koło (1899), he was convinced that the author could rival with Stanisław Wyspiański. In his broad review, published in Przegląd Polski, while reflecting a plot scheme of the work, he was at the same time looking for structural justification of action process. He noticed dramatic, linguistic and psychological values of Rydel’s ‘dramatic fairy tale.’ He appreciated Rydel’s writing skills. However, he also expected the type of art which was uniform in terms of genre. Looking into the way in which realistic and symbolic elements were combined with folklore, he discovered the cause of compositional imperfections of Zaczarowane koło, which he analysed deeply and assessed objectively.
