Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the problems of penetration of Western Europe romanticism (German in particular) into Poland and Belarus as a result of which the whole aesthetic and artistic paradigm of Belarusian-Polish literary borderland is gradually changing, opening new horizons for verbal art. One of the features of the functioning of this paradigm is its relatively smooth transition from the classic model to the romantic model, which was largely facilitated by the political situation, uniting both the Classicists and the Romanticists in an effort to regain the lost independence of their homeland, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Thus, in the process of dialogue, and in the confrontation between representatives of classicism and romanticism, the idea of freedom becomes a key one. It formed the main vectors of development of the Belarusian-Polish literary borderland in the aesthetic space of the 19th century.
