Motywy folklorystyczne w liryce Franciszka Karpińskiego. Pieśń dziada sokalskiego w kordonie cesarskim

The connection between Pieśni dziada sokalskiego w kordonie cesarskim by Franciszek Karpiński(1741–1825) with the folklore is not as intense as in the opinions of the 20th century researchers.Although the author follows the linguistic features of the folk songs, he does not stronglyrelates to the main characteristics of the genre, like the connection between sacrum and profanum,the macabre and emotional descriptions. The use of allegory and philosophical issuescreates a distance between Pieśni dziada sokalskiego w kordonie cesarskim and the folklore aswell as other oral texts. The composition aspires to link with the themes of the higher culture,for example the Golden Age.
