Problem obecności w kontekście recepcji książki Meyera Howarda Abramsa „Natural Supernaturalism. Tradition and Revolution in Romantic Literature”
The Problem of Presence in the Context of Meyer Howard Abrams’ Book “Natural Supernaturalism. Tradition and Revolution in Romantic Literature”

Summary/Abstract: The paper refers to the problem of presence—accessibility of subjective truth about the world immersed in language to the artist and their works—in the meaning proposed by Zdzisław Łapiński, who disambiguates the sense of presence with the formula “natural supranaturalism,” adopted from Meyer Howard Abrams’ book “Natural Supernaturalism. Tradition and Revolution in Romantic Literature”. Rewievs by Joseph Hillis Miller and by Morse Peckham referred to in this paper are seen as a starting point to a further discussion about the problem of presence in Polish modernist literature in the context of questions about secularisation of Western theological tradition and about political consequences of aesthetic choices.
