Abstract

Due to its peculiarity and significance, occasional poetry occupies a special role in the literary output of Sibylla Schwarz. In her epithalamia, epicedia and other casual poems, in which she shows her thorough humanities education, one finds not only conventional, partly trite rhetorical figures, but also some interesting autobiographical references. The following article attempts to analyse the poet’s output with respect to the epigonic (imitative) character of her works both in the spirit of Opitz’s poetics and her own originality.
