Развіццё лацінамоўнай паэмы ад Антычнасці да Барока: заходнееўрапейскі і беларускі кантэкст

Abstract

The article traces the evolution of Latin-language poem in European literature from Antiquity to Baroque as well as in ancient Belarusian literature. It shows formal connection between heroic poem and The Aeneid by Virgil in terms of constant evolution of genre structure of carmen heroicum with respect to hagiographic, historical and dynastic or etiological epos. The article also provides a short description of Latin-language carmina majora of other genres (hodoeporicon, panegyric or lyric and epic poem) in Belarusian multilingual literature of the XVI-XVII centuries.
