Summary/Abstract: The text analyses Rüdiger Safranski’s monograph on romanticism and its significance to German culture. The reviewer evaluates the usability of Safranski’s thesis on the existence of two terms related to romanticism: romanticism as an epoch in literary history (“die Romantik”) and the romantic – a form of awareness present also nowadays (“das Romantische”). The text discusses German criticism reactions to Safranski’s monograph and its position against the state of research on romanticism in Germany.
