Poezja okolicznościowa wobec śmierci prymasa Michała Jerzego Poniatowskiego
The occasional poetry towards Michal Jerzy Poniatowski’s death

Summary/Abstract: The Author looks at Primate Michal Jerzy Poniatowski’s death not only through the prism of funerary poems. She also studies it in connection with the works dedicated to him during his life that show distinctly how different he was seen and judged. Among poems composed after the Primate’s death, the Author chooses the unique apologetic volume with two epitaphs by Jacek Idzi Przybylski and Andrzej Jan Kanty Trzcinski as the subject of more detailed research. Among the works that express a depreciating attitude to Poniatowski, the Author cites the anonymous ones. The poems described in this paper harmonise well with the whole atmosphere that accompanied Poniatowski’s death.
