Wczesnobarokowe treny konsolacyjne poświęcone pamięci dzieci - charakterystyka genologiczna

The aim of the paper is a genre characteristic of the early Baroque funerary poems devoted to the memory of children. The author analyses poems by Grochowski, Miaskowski, Żabczyc and Szymonowie and confronts the structural determinants of the texts with the theoretical knowledge on funerary genres contained in the old Polish poetics. She concludes that the poems analysed, despite the fact that they contain some formal features of consolation described by Scaliger despite their references the stylistic formulations of Kochanowski’s Laments, are characterised by unique structural properties corresponding to greater or lesser extent to the features of „consolation lament” which the author constructs on the basis of the structure of the chronologically earliest of the analysed texts

Antywzór sarmackiej rycerskości : Coś nowego Łukasza Opalińskiego

The article examines the debasement of the Sarmatian ideal of a knight, which was shown in the satire Coś nowego (Something New) written by Łukasz Opaliński – a 17th‑century erudite and aristocratic writer. Purposely refering to various literary traditions, styles and genres, Opaliński mocks not only specific individuals but also various phenomena taking place in the 17th‑century Polish political and social reality. He is focused on ridiculing and unmasking the political and military chaos. Literary resources of ridicule vary from the picaresque style with its poetics of parody, absurd, play on words, use of vulgarities and augmentative forms, to the lofty or even bombastic style (which features elaborate metaphors, epithets, refined irony and hyperbole). In creating this stylistically varied literary form, which is parallel with the tradition of the so‑called Mennippean structure („something new” in Polish literature of that period), the author does not abandon the position of an insightful and aristocratic writer who not only aptly comments on the world that he is describing, but who consciously juggles words, moving freely within various literary conventions

Błazeńskie porady medyczne staropolskich autorów sowizdrzalskich i babińskich

The author analyses the topics and motives appearing in Old-Polish poems and prose anegdotes, containing humorous medical advice. She comes to a conclusion that both the environment of roguish writers at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, and the 17th century “storytellers” from the circle of the humorous association called Republica Babiensis, produces texts the source of which was certainly the same Western-European buffoonish motives of a Rabelais type. However, the context of these works (satirical in the case of rogues and ludic in the case of babiensis authors) is different and dictates a different interpretation. Both the noble and roguish humorists criticize human vices and the flaws of the character by means of absurd and irony, but in the case of plebeian authors criticism is additionally filled with a social subtext
