Author(s): Wiesław Rzońca
Subject(s): Polish Literature, Philology

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to trace the way in which in the literature of the nineteenth century, emotionality as well as the category of the Absolute Spirit were artistically expressed and which subsequently gave way to a returning interest in the Greek principles of imitation. The author calls this tendency “the element of mimesis” and justifies it with the use of the artistic work of Cyprian Norwid, referring also to interesting studies on this issue in the contemporary literature on the subject.
