Norwid Perspektywiczny
Norwid, a Prospective

Summary/Abstract: Review: Arent van Nieukerken, Perspektywiczność sacrum. Szkice o Norwidowskim romantyzmie [‘The prospectivity of sacrum. Sketches on Norwidian romanticism], Warszawa 2007 The review presents an interesting and original strategy of reading Cyprian-Kamil Norwid’s output, elaborated by Arent van Nieukerken. It is associated with the categories of ironical conceptism and, particularly, prospectivity, enabling to interpret this poet’s pieces in the context of modernity and modernism (in its Anglo-Saxon meaning). These categories make possible an interpretation of the Norwidian poetics, anthropology, vision of the world and history. The artist’s oeuvre can thus, in a sense, be singled out of the context of Polish romanticism and read in a comparative manner in the context of modern European literature.
