The book depicts the phenomenon of cultural memory preserved in the
Polish Romantic literature, predominantly in the works of
Mickiewicz, Slowacki, and Norwid (and other European poets). The
primary objective is to reconstruct the cultural pattern of
continuity established in Poland during the period of catastrophe.
The author describes the call for a critical historiography and
presents a "Slavic counterpoint" in the history of modern Europe.
The key questions of the book are: Will the Romantic lesson about
the transformation of history into memory and turning the past into
an object of faith turn out to be a lesson about the future? The
book is inspired by the German trend of contemporary reflection -
"the culture of remembrance" (Erinnerungskultur) founded on the
works of the Assmanns.
