Uniwersytet w BiałymstokuAbstract
The article is a proposal of interpretation of Wacław Potocki’s seventeenth century romance Syloret. The author emphasizes that the poet’s neo-Stoical romance may be read in a universal way, as a reflection on the human condition, hardships of existence and variability of fortune, as the realization of the tropes, reaching back the ancient tradition, of peregrinatio vitae and theatrum mundi. She also draws our attention to the poet’s personal experience, which could affect the form of the poem.
