Abstrakt

Romanticism, which Alfred de Musset called the “disease of the century,” was an incredibly complex cultural paradigm, and its multi-threaded legacy, “blessed and cursed” at the same time, has inspired ever new exploratory readings and scientific research analyzing all sorts of meanings of the era, which was also a mental attitude, an intellectual formation, an artistic inspiration, a discourse, and a way to read and see the world.
