Love poetry of Bálint Balassi and his era in the context of "Visegrad"

Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The study deals with love poetry of renaissance, written in the national language. It is aimed at hungarian-czech-slovak literary context of the 16th century: on love poetry of Bálint Balassi, on Slovak poem codex of Jób Fanchali and on so-called Brno fragment.

This comparison shows many common "Regional of Central European" features. Undoubtedly to the most important belongs some symbiosis of humanist poetry of the so-called Middle Ages.

In addition to that in Czech and Slovak poems the native-popular component is singnificantly represented - which on the other hand is not present in the Hungarian poetry - this fact makes doubtfull the Balassi authorship of the Slovak poems in the case of the Fanchali Codex.
