Tonąc w błękicie, czyli o miłości romantycznej w korespondencji Juliusza Słowackiego i Zygmunta Krasińskiego

Abstract

The epistolary consciousness of the romantics was exceeding the boundaries of the applied letter, romantic improvisation or the existential experiment - it was becoming an attempt to create a new language and new, extremely emotional form of artistic form of expression. The concept of the romantic open text adopted the idea of putting a special emphasis on the interactions between the letters (especially the poetic ones) - on their complementarity and permeation. What was the way in which Juliusz Słowacki and Zygmunt Krasiński were defining themselves and their relation as they were corresponding with each other during 9 years of turbulent relationship? What do the letters say about those two authors and their real feelings? How do the letters of philomaths differ from the correspondence of poets who were "drowning in the blue"? In this presentation the author will try to refer to these and other elements of romantic language, to an emotion as a component of life-writing, and also to the similarities and differences which can be found in letters of Polish romantics. The paper is the part of PhD thesis, dedicated to non-heteronormative sensitivity of Juliusz Słowacki.
