Grażyna Urban-Godziek proposes a new genre classification based on the work of French medievalists to be applied to Polish love poetry from the 16th and 17th centuries. The theoretical introduction presents thematic variants of a basic genre of popular Romanesque lyric poetry, namely the chanson de femme (a woman’s lamentable love song). The author then examines a series of old-Polish lyrics linked by descriptions of dawn (typical of the Old Occitan alba being a trobarique version of the chanson de malmariée); what is more, each one of them seems to be a variant of chanson d’ami: chanson de délaissée and chanson de départie or chanson de malmariée. Examples of alba de séparation and alba formelle érotique are also presented.
