Insultes croisées: Byron, Keats et leurs critiques

2005

This paper deals with two British poets, both insulted by reviewers. Byron and Keats share the unenviable privilege of having being severely attacked by Scottish reviewers, on different grounds perhaps, but with the same cutting spite. When does the critical reading of a poem become downright insult? This entails several questions: what exactly is being insulted here, in other words which feature of the writer is attacked by the reviewer, and why is that an attack, thus exceeding the moderate, rational assessment of a poem? Moreover, the very words used for the insult deserve to be examined. Is form insulting in itself? Finally, why be so cruel to mere poets? To add a little spice, Byron an…

Hugh MacDiarmid’s Poetics of Commitment: the Modern Stigmata of Bereavement

2016

In the 1930s, the lingering absence of God and of a stable reality engulfed the work of the poet Hugh MacDiarmid, leader of the Scottish Renaissance Movement. To counter this void, like many others at the time, MacDiarmid found refuge in communism and nationalism and started to write political and idealist poetry. In his poems, his political idealism comes into being in the association of reality and ideal, symbolised first by Jean and Sophia, the characters of A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle (1926), and duplicated later in the fantasised image of Lenin, perfect blending of idea and action. Rejecting Sartre’s denial of the political effect poetry can have, the violence of MacDiarmid’s work…

Petrarchisti del Regno di Sicilia: le Rime degli Accademici Accesi di Palermo

2023

Il contributo analizza i due volumi di rime pubblicati dall’Accademia degli Accesi di Palermo nel 1571 e nel 1573. A metà tra prospettiva regionale e dialogo con le esperienze del petrarchismo italiano, le Rime rappresentano un tentativo di rinnovare gli istituti letterari locali, facendo ricorso ai generi e alle forme in uso nella penisola. Le esigenze di sperimentazione stilistica si sommano a quelle di tipo celebrativo nel legittimare mediante la poesia il potere vicereale e inquisitoriale. This essay analyses two volumes of poetry published by the Accademia degli Accesi in Palermo in 1571 and 1573. Halfway between regionalism and a dialogue with Italian Petrarchism, the Rime represent a…

"Jeden wiatr w polu wiał, drugi wiatr w sadzie grał..." Obrazy wiatru w wybranych wierszach dla dzieci

2020

The way wind is presented in poems for children can be seen already in their titles. Most of them treat wind as the protagonist, the prime mover of natural phenomena (‘W ind’, ‘On Wind’, ‘Windy Mischief’, ‘What the W ind Looks Like’) or the parallel hero (‘W ind and Sea’, ‘Book and Wind’), others strongly emphasise the educational, concept-defining role of the presentation (‘Wind’, ‘With the Wind’, ‘On Wind’), and still others additionally use personification to present the theme in a playful manner (‘Rascal Wind’, ‘Windy Mischief’, ‘Mr Wind’). The authors depict wind as a particular character: a boy, guitarist, tramp, etc. to educate children about the air element in a simple and attractiv…

Piękno w poezji chińskiej a poeci polscy

2018

The aim of the article is to present differences between the understanding of the concept of beauty in the Eastern and Western cultures. The author analyses creativity of the Polish poets who translated selected Chinese texts. She analyses also poetry that undertakes themes and motifs characteristic for Chinese poetry and connected with landscape, motifs of moon and grass. Representation of the elements of nature in the creativity of the Chinese classics is compared with works of Tadeusz Różewicz, Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński, Julian Tuwim and Halina Poświatowska. Beauty, however differently defined in various cultures, often assumes similar forms.
