In Romantic Sensationalism Mikołaj Sokołowski defines some aspects of this artistic formation during romantic period. He argues that this sensationalist literary and philosophical theory not only did not disappear then but developed and grew. The author is not interested in sensationalism as the one of the 18th century sources of new romantic literary style but as one of many romantic forms, which were not based on the German idealistic philosophy. Romantic Sensationalism is devoted to the analysis of Adam Mickiewicz and Juliusz Słowacki works. The language of Mickiewicz’s early poetry and late Słowacki’s opera contains some of sensationalist notions and concepts. The poets also focused on the creation of human sensations, ideas and thoughts and explained these phenomena according to sensationalis theory of knowledge.
