Adam Mickiewicz

The book presents Adam Mickiewicz, the greatest poet of Polish Romanticism, as an important figure in the Christian Platonic tradition. It shows a wider context of his poetry and thought, especially the theosophical and mystical aspects of his work as well as his dialogue with German, French, and Russian culture of the nineteenth century. The study of Mickiewicz’s work in connection to the European metaphysical tradition and Christianity shows the interconnectedness of the national cultures of nineteenth-century Europe.
