Prace Literackie (Literary Studies) is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Institute of Polish Philology at the University of Wrocław. The journal has been published since December 1956. It was founded by prof. Tadeusz Mikulski, and subsequently chief-edited by distinguished researchers of polish literary studies, prof. Bogdan Zakrzewski, prof. Lesław Tatarowski and prof. Marian Ursel. In 2020, the editor-in-chief of the journal became prof. Małgorzata Łoboz.

Prace Literackie is a journal with a literary studies profile, taking into account broad interpretative contexts of both Polish and world literature. The editors are particularly interested in articles in the field of literary studies, dealing with the following issues:

• analysis of literary works in various cultural contexts
• characteristics of the work of recognized poets, writers, playwrights and creators of culture
• literary biography
• literary geography
• interdisciplinary research on literature
• research on the literary tradition from an anthropological, social and cultural perspective
• analysis of topoi, motifs and literary symbols in traditional and cultural terms
• literary theory

All articles should follow the standards of scholarly publication. We do not accept literary works (poetry, prose, drama) or literary journalism (except reviews) for printing.

Both distinguished researchers and scientifically debuting Polish philologists and PhD students have published in the journal.
