The evolution of eccentric thinking in the book The Free Shooters of Thought. On Some Romantic and Post-Romantic Figures of Mind by Agnieszka KocikThe article discusses the book The Free Shooters of Thought. On Some Romantic and Post-Romantic Figures of Mind by Agnieszka Kocik. This publication proposes to trace the dynamics in the development of the character of an eccentric in the 19th century literature, based on an analysis of works by, among others, Balzac, Sztyrmer, Nerval, Champfleury, Verne, Howard. The author distinguishes three stages in modernisation of fiction, pointing to its sources in the evolution of scientific and parascientific theories and ideas, without forgetting the historical upheavals which inevitably brought about important socio-political, cultural and literary changes.
