metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article focuses on the concept of time in human and global perspective in the
  poetry of two Swedish authors of the 19th century: Per Atterbom and Viktor Rydberg.
  These two poets belong to different branches of the Romantic movement. Atterbom
  represents the early mystic Romanticism and he is one of the first Romantic authors
  in Sweden. Rydberg is a post-Romantic poet: his poetic works contain features that are
  characteristic of the literature of Romanticism, but they were written in the last decades
  of the century. The theme of the power of time is one of the most important for both authors,
  it determines characters of lyrical heroes and poetics in many of their poems but
  in different ways. Atterbom represents the destructive power of time. Thus, the main
  characters of his fairy tale play “The Isle of Bliss”, Hyperborean king Astolf and nymph
  Felicia, live on a magical island and aspire to escape from Time, but Time overcomes
  them. Atterbom shows in his poetry that time hasn’t its limits in the world beyond.
  Rydberg represents the characters who try to apprehend the rules of time. The immortal
  mythological creatures in his poems (the Tomten, the elf of a river) cannot explain
  why time has such an influence on man and mankind. This theme corresponds with
  a philosophical matter of the meaning of human life. The humans in Rydberg’s lyrics do
  not try to overcome time as they perceive the nature and its rules throw their senses.
