The second direction in the poetry of Boguslav Adamovich was influenced by the poetry of Tadeusz Michinsky and Anthony Lange. In this poetic direction, Boguslav Adamovich follows the work of Juliusz Slowacki, using metaphysical and historical-philosophical relativism in his poetry and emphasizing at the same time his vision of social injustice. In this direction, Boguslav Adamovich separates himself from Young Poland, approaching positivism.
