Author(s): Aleksandra Oszczęda
Subject(s): Literary Texts
Published by: Instytut Badań Literackich Polskiej Akademii Nauk
Keywords: Marcin Paszkowski’s song on the conquest of Smolensk

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the sketch is a 17th century song which relates an episode from Polish-Muscovy war waged from the year 1609. The research to date described the song as anonymous, related to verse pieces on contemporary matters, and connected to popular culture. The manuscript was the basis of the song’s reprints. The article establishes Marcin Paszkowski as the author of the text, offers a more accurate version of it and situates it within the limits of occasional literature devoted to the victory of Smoleńsk in June 1611.
