Undoubtedly, the outlined problem needs working out thoroughly and in a certain way reconsidering, generalizing, supplementing, and updating, which indicates the relevance of the offered scientific research. The purpose of the study is to create a historiographical biobibliogram-recommendation of scientific and popular science studies of Schulz’s direction, taking into account the latest developments in this field.

It should be noted that the implementation of such a context will contribute to a comprehensive, detailed understanding and a deeper, insightful understanding of the unique personality and creative heritage of the Polish-language writer of the Galician literary borderlands of the first half of the 20th century Bruno Schulz.
