As the method of analysis applied here, geopoetics pays special attention to the traces of geographical location in literature, to territorial imagology and imaginary geographies. This article investigates the way in which literary conventions and cultural frames transform the genius loci. This problem is analyzed on the basis of selected texts of Polish literature (by S. Trembecki, S. Goszczyński, J. Stempowski, J. Iwaszkiewicz)
