Zusammenfassung/ Abstract:
This dissertation thesis arose from thinking about literary tradition as described by the Anglo-American modernists Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot. In their view, the tradition of European love-lyrics crystallised in the work of the medieval Occitan troubadours who were influenced by the cultural and political milieu of the contemporary Occitanie and whose work reflected the religious influences of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The main subject of their poetry was the worship of the divinised feminine character resembling the Christian Virgin Mary, Gnostic Sophia or the ancient Mother Goddess. In the course of his career, Leonard Cohen has revealed erudition in medieval poetry and religion and a penchant for modernist thinking. Moreover, his work shows many parallels with the work of his Occitan predecessors. The thesis deals with comparison of texts and motifs present in their works with references to religion and mysticism.
