Twórczość Franciszka Dionizego Kniaźnina w kontekście komparatystycznym. Pomysły i kwestie otwarte

Abstract

The leading question of this working sketch is how to grasp different styles of composing and ordering poems in Franciszek Dionizy Kniaźnin’s five poetry volumes (1779–1796), and how to create reasonable links between this last Polish-Latin poet’s pluridirectional individual oeuvre evolution and major Polish and European currents of his time. In addition to national and iternational late baroque, classicism, rococo and sentimentalism, special traditions and trends in Neo-Latin, Jesuit and Free Mason poetries seem to have played their roles in his books. Old Greek poets (Anacreon, Theocritus, Sappho), classical Latin poets (Horatius, Ovid, Vergil) and their reception in earlier Polish poetry (Jan Kochanowski) constitute his main reference. However, traces of Italian (Petrarch, Pietro Metastasio, Angelo Maria Durini), French (Antoinette Des Houlières, Jean-Baptiste-Louis Gresset, Montesquieu, Jean Baptiste Rousseau, Jean-JacquesRousseau) and British inspirations (John Milton [?], Alexander Pope, James Thomson) are also revealed.
