Romantyczne metafory pamięci
Romantic Metaphors of Memory

Summary/Abstract: Romanticism is often associated with a turning point in how memory was perceived and comprehended. This turn, according to some commentators, should be linked with the birth of modernity. The article presents and regroups Polish Romantic “metaphors of memory,” in a sense given to that notion by Douwe Draaisma. The classification shows quite clearly that only in a few cases Polish authors managed to move away from the traditional and well-known categorizations and relying on modernity and technical innovations would not necessarily entail the abandonment of tradition and history. However, even in those rare situations they proved to be sensitive to changes in civilisation and society.
