LES POÈTES PROVENÇAUX « NOMMÉS TROUBADOURS » AUX YEUX DE LA CRITIQUE POLONAISE DU XIXE SIÈCLE
PROVENCAL POETS „NAMED TROUBADOURS” IN THE EYES OF POLISH NINETEENTH CENTURY CRITICISM

Summary/Abstract: The interest in the Middle Ages begins in Poland in the nineteenth century with works dedicated to the poetry of the troubadours. The appearance of these essays, written exclusively in Polish, converges in time with the publication in France of the first serious works devoted to the Occitan lyric. My purpose is to try to compare these two phenomena related to the birth of medieval and Occitan studies in France and Poland. The choice of troubadours as an object of study is not fortuitous and tells us much more about the nineteenth century men and women and their time than of the Middle Ages.
