Ândrra romantike: Nation in potentia
Romantic Dream: Nation in Potentia

Summary/Abstract: The Romanticism writer intended to empower the nation, through the monumentalization of the life of Arbwria and the recollection of epic deeds in the letters. They testified that literature canrevive the sense of dedication to the national values. Therefore, “growing” the nation (Schwytzer) for the romanticism writers was a dream and purpose, because it renewed the ethnic power and the greatness of memory for it. The Nation in Potentiafor the Romantic Letters came in the form of renewal, the purpose of which was to convey this common feeling and turn it into a great motive for action. Once again, the inseperable relationship between the letters and collective consciousness of identity is restored. The paper deals exactly with the dream of the Romanticists to see themselves in the ideal dimension, a dreamwhich has led the history to slipping into the uncertain foundations of the legends, giving humanity mythical truths as a historical transcendence. Our aim is to prove that for romantics the poiesis (creation) is the bearer of the national spirit. Born under the light of enlighten mentand renewal of the idea for the nation, Romanticism is also transformed into engaged intellectual and patriotic activity (Krasniqi), which transforms the echo of the centuries into a means of witnessing. But the tools it uses are rarely those of folklore. For this purpose, the literary work of the most representative authors: from De Rada to Fishta, will be treated also from the point of view of “the echoes carried by the depths of the centuries” (A. M. Tisse).
