Levandulo prevúnná... Notes to the Image of Woman in the Texts of Old Slovak Literature

Summary/Abstract: The author in her study named Levandulo prevúnná... (Notes to the Image of Woman in the Texts of Old Slovak Literature) deals with the literary adaptation of the image of woman in Old Slovak literature in such form as it was preserved in Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque writings. It focuses on relevant works of medieval chronicles and legends, Renaissance Humanist poetry in Latin, Slovak Renaissance love and historical poetry and Renaissance drama, Baroque poetry, prose and drama. The study shows that the image of woman in Old Slovak literature shifts in Renaissance from its original simple and modest form of a saint and a noblewoman to a more colorful range, which peaks in Baroque literature, where we can find a noblewoman, a religious woman, but also a simple woman or a woman of loose morals.
