(in Polish) Konwersatorium literaturoznawcze I/IIp - Dzieło, autor, publiczność (Średniowiecze - Renesans) 3304-1DPXW-KL-023-OG

The aim of the seminar is to prepare students for independent reading of ancient literature. A joint analysis of selected works of the French Middle Ages and the Renaissance based on the latest critical studies is to encourage an in-depth study of cultural and literary phenomena and the acquisition of the ability to formulate extensive comments on the analyzed texts.
Selected works will be analyzed in three research perspectives: the nature of the work, the identity of the author and the real or presumed audience.
• The era of oral tradition and anonymous authors – Chanson de Roland
• Chivalric sensitivity: singing of love, describing a knight’s fate – the works of troubadours and trouvères.
• François Villon – an author with many faces – Les Lais and Le Testament.
• Marguerite de Navarre – the writer-queen.
• Louise Labé – a poet in a male literary world.
• Muret as a commentator on Ronsard’s poetry: what must be explained to the reader.
• Poetry as a personal confession? Les Regrets of Joachim Du Bellay and his classical inspirations.
• Les Essais of Michel de Montaigne and the power of self-creation.
