The paper researches the way romanticism is reconstructed and interpretated in three books on the history of Croatian literature (Ježić, Frangeš Jelčić). In the analysis of selected histories of Croatian literature, three very important methodological questions that are extracted, namely the question of periodization, the question of the evaluation of Croatian literature of romanticism, and the question of considering the Croatian literature of romanticism in the broader context of the literary world trends.

The first part of the paper is dedicated to Wincenty Pol’s occasional poems, dedicated to poets and poetry, and on that basis, it is possible to reconstruct the author’s perception of the situation of poets and poetry, as well as their role in society deprived of political identity. The second area of discussion are Pol’s works, which are addressed to scholars and, at the same time, emphasise the significance of their activity for the spiritual condition of the Poles, and indicate the originality of the poet’s (and an active researcher’s) reflections in relation to individual and collective research initiatives.

This paper considers French ecclesiastical rhetoric in the Romantic era, focusing on Lacordaire’s and Lamennais’ contrasting views on the role of eloquence in religious discourse. It argues that Lacordaire, despite employing secular language in his Conférences remains a classicist religious orator, whereas Lammenais expresses his deep distrust of the spoken word and condemns eloquence, turning to letters and political discourse. The comparison of the two concepts can be seen as an exemplification of the transition from littérature-discours to littérature-texte, a general phenomenon in the French Romantic literature as described by Alain Vaillant.

This paper aims at a synthetic presentation of four representative research practices in the first stage of postcolonial studies concerned with Polish literature of the Romantic period. This is currently one of the key tools utilised in the studies of Polish Romanticism, which proved to offer a considerable scope for revisions, especially with regard to the myth of the Borderlands and Messianism, thus enabling major Romantic ideologies and myths to be redefined in terms of identity. An analysis of research discourses reveals the shortcomings and benefits of the postcolonial method when employed in the studies of Polish Romanticism. On the one hand, an all too rigid application of the tools has led to certain interpretive simplifications of Romantic texts, while on the other the authors of the discussed works were able to conceptualize the identities of Polish Romantic literature anew.

Recenzja omawia przede wszystkim pracę Magdaleny Siwiec „Romantyzm, czyli »inter esse«”, ale nie koncentruje się wyłącznie na tej – piątej w dorobku badaczki – książce. Przeciwnie, lektura tomu studiów Siwiec staje się pretekstem do pytań o ważne dla niej tradycje badawcze, o jej rozumienie romantyzmu, dorobek, metodę i wrażliwość humanistyczną. Tytułowa formuła inter esse, mająca zasadniczy wpływ na kompozycję i selekcję wątków w rozprawie, współokreśla również poetykę i charakter tego omówienia.

The review discusses primarily Magdalena Siwiec’s work “Romantyzm, czyli ‘inter esse’” (“Romanticism, that is ‘inter esse’”), but does not concentrate solely on this book, the fifth in her scholarly achievements. On the contrary, reading this collection of Siwiec’s studies becomes an excuse to pose questions about the research tradition that she considers vital, about her understanding of Romanticism, achievement, method, and humanistic sensitivity. The title formula inter esse, having a profound influence on the shape and composition of the issues in the study, also adds to defining the poetics and character of the review.

The author describes numerous bans placed on the literature and culture of Ukrainian Baroque in the period of totalitarianism. She argues that there is still an acute need to make a new approach to the literature of the Baroque and Romanticism eras, especially to the works by such outstanding authors as Taras Shevchenko, Mykola Gogol, Mykola Kostomarov, Panteleimon Kulish, Ivan Franko, Alexander Potebnja, Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky. Ukrainian Romanticism, as depicted by the author, is in fact different from the European one in many respects, despite the fact that it knows “romantic irony” or bizarre, surrealistic perception of the world.

The article discusses the dispute of Romantics with Classicists, however, it does not raise literary or ideological issues around which the discussion was held, but selected elements of Romantic rhetoric. The analysis comprises the image of Classicists and Classicist art emerging from the texts of their critics. Special attention has been paid to the use of the word “dead” and related words. It seems that this word is a kind of a key – tracing its meanings, contexts of use and attributed to it value judgment allows to recreate main postulates of the new trend in art, as well as pay attention to creating the image of the opponent, which takes place in the texts discussed. Finally, it becomes the starting point for indicating elements of similar rhetoric in contemporary literary polemics.

Robert Burns wrote a number of poetic letters, such as Epistle to John Rankie, Epistle to Davie, A Brother Poet, Epistle to John Lapraik, An Old Scottish Bard, To William Simpson, and others. Versed epistles, although practiced by poets of various epochs, is a typically neo-classical genre connected with Horatian tradition, and followed by A. Pope. It was part of aristocratic courtly culture and an elegant way of presenting a didactic or even satirical purpose, but also a powerful tool for manipulating public opinion. This paper examines the ways in which Robert Burns used those conventions and created his own rhetorical style, using parody, grotesque, speaking at times on behalf of the “public” or in a plural sort of voice, but in the end creating a free individual poetic personality similar to that of G. G. Byron in the Romantic way of composing motifs and registers of language.

For several years the poetry of the members of Philomat’s Society was held in rather low esteem, with the exception of Mickiewicz’s poems. It should be acknowledged that the large collection of Philomats’s works requires rereading and reinterpretation. This article focuses on the anacreontics that were written and improvised by Vilnius students. It seems that this genre especially attracted young poets who eagerly experimented with old literary conventions. I shall argue that Philomath’s feast verses, although deeply rooted in the established tradition, can be read as a modernized version of anacreontic poetry. One can notice a significant shift, in terms of motifs and style of expression, towards Romantic aesthetics.

The aim of this article is to analyze the manner in which female demons are described by oneof the first Polish folklorists – Kazimierz Władysław Wójcicki – who created their image based onfolk stories and selected literary works. The subject of the presented study are texts published asKlechdy, starożytne podania i powieści ludu polskiego i Rusi [Klechdy. Ancient Tales and Novels bythe Polish and Rus’ People] (1837). This article refers to romantic fascination with Slavs, womenand death. It also concentrates on the human attributes of demons, for example clothes, names, favouriteplaces and activities, and facial expressions. They all symbolize the human psyche – fears,needs and emotions.

The article presents Atanazy Raczyński’s research on Portuguese art against the modernization and Europeanisation processes in Portugal in the 19th century. A specific view of Portuguese artistic heritage and openly expressed critical opinions of the Polish scholar made him a controversial figure, which paradoxically contributed to the importance and resonance of his work. Discouraged by the conflict, Raczyński did not complete his final synthesis. Nevertheless his letters to the Art Society in Berlin, as well as a dictionary

If we regard democracy as tied with four functions: availability, representation, freedom, and education, then we can state that the Romanticism conceived as the intellectual formation and literary current has managed to realize the deepest and thorough process of democratization of culture, of which results remain valid and actual in our contemporary reality. In the Romanticism, two traditions converge in order to construct its progressive character: the educational tradition derived from the German idealism and the liberation one. The educational tradition has been inspiring the development of knowledge, education and university values by shaping the holistic conception of education and personal progress. In this article, the educational orientation of the Romanticism is expressed by the function of availability concerning culture as well as education. The liberation current of the Romanticism is related with the French tradition, peoples as a subject that debates on the ideas of justice and injustice, and also with the folklore along with the independence narrative. The titular category namely, democratization of culture should be understood as a multifaceted phenomenon of the gradual and irreversible processes of innovations which have spread through the spheres of culture, language, system of forms of utterance in order to shape various social and cultural institutions, which – throughout the process of generating new literary canons and redefining modern national identities – eventually contributed to the constitution of the contemporary states.

This article is a review of the book by P. Abriszewska Literacka hermeneutyka Cypriana Norwida [Cyprian Norwid’s literary hermeneutics]. The book discusses the previous research of the issue, taken in the context of the Romantic, the 19th-century and the 20-th century hermeneutic thought. The review focuses on the reconstruction of the diversified and multilateral hermeneutic approaches to Norwid’s works proposed by the author of the publication. These hermeneutic approaches are linked with culture, literature, history and – to the smallest extent – with nature; all of them being part of the poet’s oeuvre.

The aim of the text is to present images of Camões created by nineteenth-centu- ry Polish writers. The author of the article refers to the following literary works: Kamoens w szpitalu [Camões in Hospital] by Julian Korsak, Kamoens by Fryderyk Halm and Don Sébastien de Portugal by Aleksander Przezdziecki. All these au- thors regarded Camões as an outstanding and suffering poet, who believed in a specific form messianism.

The specifics of Polish Romantic Reflection on race and cognate notionsThe one and basic characteristic feature of Polish Romantic reflection on race was that it associated race with tribeness. Such a reduction of the notion ‘race’ to ethnicity resulted from the then known definition of nation as a multiethnic and multicultural community which constituted the superior and the superb form of organizing the societal world, as well as from weakness of scholarly reflection in the field of physical anthropology. For Polish Romantics, race was not an objective category that on the basis of exiting physical differences enabled a division of humanity into permanent and clearly delimitated phonotypical populations. Race was identified with tribeness and related to a long gone past when the human kind merely created primitive social ties based on kinship of blood. However, what is really binding people is not biological criteria but spiritual semblance: communion of thought, feelings, and purpose. Color of skin or shape of skull do not determine a given populace’s brain capacities; in fact what counts only is cultural and civilization factors. For Romantics, in their thought a Eurocentric attitude dominated, although it was devoid of clearly racist connotations. Superior and inferior races, if existed at all, appeared only in the context of a level of development of civilization, that is, merely temporarily, because every race was able to achieve the level of the most developed races or even a higher one. Specyfika polskiej refleksji romantycznej nad rasą i pojęciami pokrewnymiSpecyfika polskiej refleksji romantycznej nad rasą miała jedną zasadniczą cechę – utożsamienie jej z plemiennością. Zredukowanie pojęcia rasy do etniczności wynikało z ówczesnej definicji narodu jako wspólnoty wieloetnicznej, wielokulturowej, która stanowiła nadrzędną, najdoskonalszą formę urządzenia świata społecznego, oraz ze słabości naukowej refleksji w zakresie antropologii fizycznej. Rasa nie była dla romantyków polskich kategorią obiektywną, pozwalającą według istniejących różnic fizycznych podzielić ludzkość na trwałe, ograniczone fenotypowo populacje. Utożsamiono ją z plemiennością i łączono z zamierzchłą przeszłością, gdy ludzkość tworzyła jedynie prymitywne związki społeczne oparte na pokrewieństwie krwi. Tymczasem ludzi zespala nie tyle kryterium biologiczne, co podobieństwo duchowe – wspólnota myśli, uczuć i celu. Kolor skóry czy kształt czaszki nie determinowały zdolności umysłowych populacji, a jedynie czynniki natury kulturowo-cywilizacyjnej. Postawa europocentryczna dominowała w ówczesnej myśli, ale bez konotacji stricte rasistowskich. Jeśli istniały rasy niższe i wyższe, to tylko w kontekście stopnia zaawansowania w rozwoju cywilizacyjnym, a zatem czasowo, gdyż każda z nich mogła dojść do poziomu tych najbardziej rozwiniętych, a nawet je przewyższyć.

In Romantic literature, water often serves as a symbol of death and of the dissolution of the individual, representing a passage from presence to absence. In order to show this transformation, writers frequently rely on scenes of drowning. However, in these depictions drowning does not always lead to an absence, but rather, it reveals a physical presence: that of the cadavers themselves. Through a detailed analysis of two romantic texts whose treatment of drowning sheds light on the relationship between absence and presence, Lélia (1833) by George Sand and L’Éducation sentimentale (1845) by Gustave Flaubert, this study engages the following questions on thematic and structural levels: Does drowning undeniably bring about an annihilation of the individual? Are the boundaries between absence and presence, disappearing and (re)appearing, decomposition and (re)composition, clearly defined? Or is there another interpretation? One that is specific to textual portrayals of immersion? From an eco-critical perspective, it is clear that water represents an ideal space to portray the tension between life and death. As presented by Sand and Flaubert, drowned bodies inspire images of life rather than death and therefore cause the reader to question these boundaries on an imaginative and symbolic level.

The literature of the Romantics, in the first part of the 19th century, is steeped in religious doubt. Moreover, the sacred was a taboo yet unavoidable subject especially in novels and short stories that were considered at the time profane genres. Romantic writers exploited certain covert strategies in order to speak of the unspeak-able and touch the untouchable. They resort, for instance, to their artistic culture with its centuries of pictorial tradition that render religious figures and events more familiar and accessible. Musset’s Le Tableau d’église, Vigny’s Daphné, and Gauthier’s La Toison d’or, all bear witness to a striking (meeting) harmony between iconoclastic and/or cavalier characters and sacred works of art that focus on the Passion. All three writers interweave aesthetic contemplation with mystical communion, thus revealing a new sense of the sacred that is often ambiguous, nay, subversive. And since sacred art is not in itself sacred, it allows writers to come very close to sacrilege in order to examine the fine line between the profane and the sacred.

Developing on 150 years of reviews and scholarship of Charles Sangster’s The St. Law- rence and the Saguenay, this paper contends that Sangster’s poem is not merely derivative of British and American Romantic poetry, or a vague tourist poem, but that Sangster employs the language and images of Christian pilgrimage to purposefully detail the pilgrimage of his soul.

The article concerns the way in which modernist painter Witold Pruszkowski (1846-1849) drew inspiration from the poem Anhelli (1837), a work of the romantic poet Juliusz Słowacki (1809-1849) treating on the fate of a group of Poles in Siberia, political exiles after the Polish-Russian war (1830-1831). The research shows that the painter refers to Anhelli to query about identity, individuality, belonging to the tradition, as well as about the purpose and the sense of art. In Pruszkowski’s paintings the space of the poem becomes a paysage intime, an inner, emotional space. The painter brings out the symbolic potential of the poem and concentrates on imaginative, colourful aspects of the romantic work. The main imaginative themes of his paintings cross the border between the human world and what lays beyond it, referring to such topics as death, ghosts and mysterious landscapes (downs, dusks). The world of the Anhelli poem becomes an integral part of the whole work of Pruszkowski.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s 1797 poem “Kubla Khan” begins with the statement that Kubla Khan once caused a pleasure-dome to come into existence by dint of a kingly decree. The last line states that the narrator, should he gain suffi cient poetic vision, would have “drunk the milk of paradise” and would “build that dome in air.” A new reading may be derived from a focus on precisely what these lines say and what they imply within the perspective of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s work Anti-Oedipus. If the process of the narrator’s gaining poetic insight is set in motion by a conscious decree from Kubla Khan, then an Anti-Oedipal reading considers whether the end result is simply the consequence a powerful individual’s wishes, or else is paradoxically a liberation from those wishes.
