(„Myślałem, że padnę…” – piękno czy ironia? O poemacie „W Szwajcarii” Juliusza Słowackiego

Abstract

Among Polish scholars Juliusz Słowacki’s “In Switzerland” has a reputation of a poem that is somewhat sentimental and trivial, at times even kitschy. This is due to the fact that the analysis has so far focused on the contents of the poem. However, the analysis of its linguistic layer allows us to put forward new conclusions and prove the presence of irony. It manifests itself, among others, in the rich intertextuality of the piece, the presence of disillusionment, a sort of naïve imagery. The poem is a work of contrasts, which can only be demonstrated through meticulous poetological analysis.
