The book presents the poetics of European litanic verse (genre structure, versification, rhetorical figures), with a particular focus on the space-time matrix within which the litanic world is depicted. Examples are mostly taken from Latin, English, French, German, Iberian, Italian, Scandinavian and Slavic poetry from Antiquity to Early Modernity.
Witold Sadowski heads the Section for the Poetics of Verse at the University of Warsaw. He specialises in the theory of verse and the history of literary genres. In his book Litany and Poetry (2011, in Polish) he applied the paradigm of poetic analysis to the liturgical form of the litany and introduced terminology for its description.
