| Description | The author of the present study deals with Romanticism as an undercurrent of literary development with the new vision of Romanticism as such seen from a different interpretational and axiological angles accentuating specific qualities and features of Slavonic Romanticism. The crucial questions concern its rise and periodization, its national characteristics and functions, its genre structure, its revaluations, reinterpretations and inspirations as well as the ter¬minological dispersion of the notion “Romanticism” in contemporary literary theory. He accentuates the meaning of Romanticism as a rather “soft” vari¬ety of poetological phenomena going back to the roots of German “Roman¬tik”. The author deals with Romanticism both as a concrete historical literary stream and as an “eternal” cultural feature penetrating into the literary devel¬opment in its complexity. Romanticism is an undercurrent of various modern streams and tendencies. The Romanticism itself has its roots in the Baroque poetics exactly as if due to Hegel’s negation of the negation of law of dialectics: it negatively reacts on the cult of form and the formal discipline of neoclassi¬cism going partly back to the Baroque chaos and amorphism. Romanticism in Slavonic literatures has a big burden of many social functions – national re¬vival, the restoration of the language, cultural autonomy, equalizing with West Europe, the role of literature as a state forming and state-constituting factor. |
