EZOTERIZMAS LITERATŪROJE IR LITERATŪROS ISTORIJOJE
ESOTERISM IN LITERATURE AND IN LITERARY HISTORY

Summary/Abstract: The article is inspired by intensified attention to the esoteric in humanities. The author tries to find out what are the roots of esoterism in tradition, what are the links between esoterism and an idealistic explanation of art and creative nature. The connection between esoterism and modernism is being stressed. The main attention is paid to Lithuanian literature of the beginning of the 20th century: it programically declared the longing towards the secret, the mystical. Links are established between esoterism, occultism, mysticism and partly hermetism. From the methodological point of view, the main orientation is towards phenomenological notion of literature and literary process.
