Sonnets by Francesco Petrarch played a huge role in shaping European Love Lyrics. Also Laura’s character became a standard beloved woman. Over the centuries poets used the selected topoi and stylistic figures from the Canzoniere, to lay down their feelings – mostly youth and unfulfilled. The female figures similar to Laura we can find in polish poetry only in the nineteenth century (especially in the works of Adam Mickiewicz). Other authors of this period introduced to poetry a various female characters that I call here Laura or anti-Laura.

This essay introduces Sonnets by Józef Dunin-Borkowski, a nineteenth-century Polish poet. It shows an original picture of old Lviv – the town and the people. This poems differ from any other sonnets of the romantic period. Borkowski chose a very difficult genre to present whole diversity of the Polish town. In his sonnets we can find for example: psychological portraits of people, city park, castle ruins, everyday objects or even women’s fashion. But the most important thing is that these poems show a nineteenth-century human – his morality, values and behaviours. Borkowski’s literary work is also a great example of satire.
