Poezje. Wybór

Józef Baka

Józef Baka był późnobarokowym poetą, jezuitą i misjonarzem. Pisał poezje, kazania, panegiryki i hagiografie. Stosował charakterystyczny barokowy styl wzniosły, ekspresyjny, pełen przesady i wyrafinowanych środków. Wraz ze zmieniającym się stosunkiem do sztuki barokowej w ogóle zmieniała się także recepcja twórczości Baki od opinii głoszących grafomaństwo, do podkreślania metafizycznego charakteru jego poezji. Obecnie uważany jest za jednego z najwybitniejszych poetów Rzeczypospolitej czasów saskich.
