Biography The poet's parents were Augustyn Komornicki and Anna Dunin-Wąsowicz, and their grandfather was Teodor Anzelm Dzwonkowski (1764–1850). The writer came from an affluent landowning family, and spent the childhood in a property in Grabów. In 1889 Anna Dunin-Wąsowicz came to Warsaw with her 6 children to grant them lessons from the best teachers (Piotr was taught literature by prof. Piotr Chmielowski). Włast had a literary debut in a newspaper "Gazeta Warszawska" in 1892 with short stories Z życia nędzarza and Staszka. In 1883 the same newspaper published a novella Rozłąka. In 1894 a collection of short stories Szkice was published, in the same year „Gazeta Poznańska” published a drama Skrzywdzeni. Then, under father's pressure, Włast went to Cambridge, to attend lectures at the Newnham College for six months. The diary of the stay was published under the ironic title Youth Paradise at the beginning of 1896.

Legacy The work of Piotr Włast (as Maria Komornicka) was published in 1996 by literary scholar Maria Podraza-Kwiatkowska.

In the 21st century, Włast's renaissance took place – feminist critics, LGBT scholars, and journalists became interested in the writer's life and work. Noteworthy is the monograph (565 pages) Strącona Bogini by Brygida Helbig published in 2010 in Krakow. Wiktor Dynarski, transgender discourse scholar, stated that "Maria Komornicka has never existed/been there.". Marta Konarzewska, when writing the text about the writer published in "Replika" magazine - like Krzysztof Tomasik in Homobiografie, respected the name and gender identity chosen by the writer. Tomasik wondered in his book: "The question remains whether Włast in his metamorphosis was more concerned about becoming a man or simply a human" as at that time a woman was in fact a sub-human being, which was also pointed out by, among others, Zofia Nałkowska.…
