Romantic Remembering of Europe: Mickiewicz-Słowacki-Norwid

Abstract

The present analysis focuses its perspective on the symbolic geography of Polish Romanticism decoded from works by Adam Mickiewicz (Paris lectures), Juliusz Słowacki (A journey from the Holy Land to Naples)and Cyprian Norwid (My homeland). The main thesis rests in answering the question: Does Romantic communal thinking present in the literary output of leading poets of the Polish Romanticism aim at mental constructions taken over from the mnemotopoi of the European heritage?
