EN

The paper is the author’s personal homage to his three favourite Swedish poets. It attempts at showing the Polish readers that Sweden, too, had its share of great poets, as Swedish poetry is almost wholly unknown in Poland. Carl Michael Bellman is compared with his contemporary Robert Burns, Esaias Tegner is presented in the context of epic poems of Denmark and Norway, whereas Erik Johan Stagnelius – in comparison with John Keats and William Blake.

Artykuł stanowi osobisty hołd autora złożony jego trzem ulubionym szwedzkim poetom. Jest to również próba pokazania polskiemu odbiorcy, że Szwecja także miała 1 Special invited contribution. szereg wielkich poetów, chociaż są oni w Polsce prawie nieznani. Po krótkim wprowadzeniu historycznym omówieni zostają wymienieni w tytule twórcy. Carl Michael Bellman przedstawiony jest w porównaniu z jego szkockim równolatkiem Robertem Burnsem, Esaias Tegner – na tle duńskiej i norweskiej poezji epickiej, Erik Johan Stagnelius porównany jest z dwoma poetami angielskimi: Johnem Keatsem (niemal równolatkiem Stagneliusa) oraz Williamem Blakiem. Tekst zawiera kilka ilustracji, cytatów z wierszy Bellmana i Stagneliusa (cytaty z Tegnera byłyby zbyt długie, jako że mamy do czynienia z poezją epicką), obszerną bibliografię dzieł w językach szwedzkim, angielskim i polskim oraz znaną autorowi dyskografię pieśni Bellmana oraz muzyki powstałej do dzieła Tegnera.
