ENRomanticism is a very important and fundamental issue for formation of the Lithuanian identity. Its source was in the poetry written by the great romantic poets of XIX century like Adam Mickewicz, Julius Slowacki, and later the Lithuanian patriot Maironis who called for national uprising. His verses are like eternal inspirational motifs for formation of the Lithuanian identity, based on the great past of the medieval state and its heroes. His poetry opened up the images of old castles, forest, sea, nature at night and human loneliness, with turning points of God’s love and the church, organ, bells, towers, and the architecture of Vilnius, its old Baroque style, inspiring even contemporary images. Romanticism transforms itself into a new Baltic identity for the fight with darkness of the night of history and the sunrise of the post-apocalyptic Nordic horizontal. [From the publication]
