520 |a What do Jesuits have in common with spiders, flies, chameleons, owls, hawks, or Sirens? Rediscover provocative arguments, tropes, and figures that formed anti-Jesuit literature in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1576-1632). This monograph examines the structure and functions of these discursive elements, often reinforced by vivid metaphor, elaborated allegory, or malicious irony, through the lens of rhetorical strategies suitable for controversy, polemic, dispute, or parody. Due to this dual focus, both structural and functional, it enables the identification of pivotal images, stereotypes, clichés, and legends associated with the Society. Many of them fuelled and continue to fuel anti-Jesuit sentiment worldwide.
