Abstract

The article presents the results of research concerning materials covering the fact of awarding the Nobel Prize in Literature to Wisława Szymborska, which were published in daily, opinion-forming press across the United Kingdom and the United States of America between 1996 and 2012. The source materials (mentions, articles, reviews, interviews, obituaries) were found in the three most popular British (The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent) and American (The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times) newspapers. In both British and American press sources Szymborska was introduced as a smart, witty, and pleasant person, as well as a talented poet who could depict human existence and current political issues in an elegant and discreet way.
