'Antymonachomachia' Summary
Antymonachomachia tells the story of how the monks of a monastery react when they are given a copy of Monachomachia. The monks are initially outraged by the poem's criticism of their order, but they eventually come to see the truth in its words. The poem is a witty and satirical look at the hypocrisy and corruption of the Church, and it offers a valuable glimpse into the religious and social debates of 18th-century Poland.Book Details
