Vilanella


Vilanella (villanelle) - a poem written from Italian folklore, but developed from the 15th to 17th centuries in France. There it was codified by the poet Jean Passerat (1534-1602). After two hundred years of development, this genre has been abandoned to revive in the 19th century in English poetry. Developed by such writers as Austin Dobson and Oscar Wilde vilanella, it acquired philosophical-reflexive qualities. In the 20th century vilanelle wrote min. W.H. Auden, Dylan Thomas and Elizabeth Bishop. In Polish literature this cultivar was min. Stanisław Barańczak.

Vilanelle is characterized by its intricate design, which consists of five three-verse stanzas rhymed in the aba. The sixth, last stanza, is composed of four verses in the abaa sequence. The line must meet rigid conditions. The first verse, slightly modified, must appear as the third in the second, fourth, and sixth stanzas, and the third verse at the end of the third, fifth, and sixth stanzas. The meaning of repetitive verses can be changed, but rhyme, rhythm, and sound should be preserved. Examples Bibliography
