Zagadnienie konstrukcji romantycznego cyklu lirycznego Przypadek Mickiewicza (Sonety krymskie), Norwida (Vade-mecum) i Baudelaire’a (Kwiaty zła)
Construction of the Romantic Lyrical Cycle. The Case of Mickiewicz (Crimean Sonnets), Norwid (Vade-mecum) and Baudelaire (The Flowers of Evil)

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is the comparison of three poetic cycles, in order to highlightthe similarities and differences in the structure of the poems. The rules applicable to thestructures of that type were analysed. In addition to the Polish works, Crimean Sonnetsby Adam Mickiewicz and Vade-mecum by Cyprian Norwid, the volume The Flowers of Evil byCharles Baudelaire was included (because of its frequent comparisons with Norwid’s cycle).The factors determining the cohesion of poems with each other (within each of those cycles)and architectonic ideas, proposed by researchers, are discussed, leading to the conclusion thatthrough different options of linking texts and creating smaller groups of poems (sub-cyclesor mini-cycles), poetic cycles are generally characterised by “ambiguity” of composition.Different formal and thematic relations between the individual texts can be seen in them,which depends – to a certain extent – on the interpretation of each link, as well as the wholecycle.
