Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to the study of the ideological and aesthetic foundations of Adam Ploug’s poetry in organic correlation with the artistic experience of other representatives of the Belarusian-Polish literary borderland (A. Mitskevich, J.I. Krashevsky, etc.). It is worth noting that the formation of A. Ploug’s creative consciousness took place under the direct influence of a number of ideas of Western European Romanticism, including the sacralization of the homeland and its past (historical memory), the idealization of freedom, Christian humanism and non-conformism, the idea of the timelessness of art. At the same time, both the concept of the lyrical hero and the artistic space in A. Ploug’s works are all built on the basis of the traditions of the Belarusian folk culture, which makes it possible to assert that the poet belongs primarily to Belarusian Romanticism.
