Oбраз леса в немецком романтизме

Abstract

The German Romantics were the first to discover the unique beauty of nature - in surprising shapes and sizes, in silence and fear, but also linked their and its destiny with history. In works of fiction such poets as L. Tieck, F. Novalis, J. Goethe and J. Eichendorff there is a forest with double headings: the forest in which the human leg had never trod, and the forest which exceeds the insignificant at first glance history of mankind. The German Romantics bring to literature a wild uninhabited forest, which is ruled only by its own laws. The forest of the Romantics is a part of nature, which has received some autonomy and independence. Very often, the forest reverberates in the soul of a romantic character: grim noise of the branches of trees, piercing sound of the wind etc. The vision of the forest bears the peace or intensifies the feelings of loneliness and pessimistic emotions lyrical character. The forest of the German poets of the Romantic era is the forest chich is at the same time near and far. It is both the object of worship and anxiety – it is the temple of nature and the object of meditation, aesthetic emotions as well as a chronicle of the history of mankind.
