Ангеличното в творчеството на Юлиуш Словацки
The Angelic Element in the Works of Juliusz Słowacki

Summary/Abstract: Romantic philosophy and aesthetics provide a fertile ground for the development of the angelic element, which became a part of the conceptual journeys of the creators of the era. Drawing upon stereotypical notions of angels, Juliusz Słowacki, the most „romantic” and mystical among the three Polish poet-prophets (alongside Adam Mickiewicz and Zygmunt Krasiński), offers his creative „interpretation” of this celestial being. The aim of this study is to stylize the symbolic spectrum of the angel and provide a concise overview of its evolution in the works of the Polish poet and epistolographer. To achieve this goal, comparative, semantic-analytical, and interpretative methods have been employed.
