Procent romantyzmu w romantyzmie
The Percentage of Romanticism in Romanticism

Summary/Abstract: Marcin Maron’s book "Romantyzm i kino. Idee i wyobrażenia romantyczne w filmach polskich reżyserów z lat 1947-1990" ["Romanticism and Cinema: Romantic Ideas and Images in the Films of Polish Directors from 1947-1990"] (2019) presents interpretations of eleven films that either depict events taking place between 1789 and 1849 or are adaptations of romantic literature. The notion of romanticism employed in the book is determined by philosophical views, mainly those of the Jena circle, and historical phenomena that support their realization. In the concluding part of the work, the films are discussed in the context of the reception of romanticism in the times of the Polish People’s Republic. Maron’s book, though somewhat static in its strict compliance with chronological and compositional restrictions, nevertheless makes for a dynamic reading experience, as it provokes questions that reach beyond both the time frame adopted by the author and his chosen range of problems.
