The issue of understanding the author in the works of Novalis

The study examines the complex questions of the author's role in the works of Novalis, who is one of the key representatives of German Romanticism. Special attention is paid to the innovative view of the romantics on the nature of authorship and the creative process, which significantly differs from classical notions of the Enlightenment era. The philosophical and aesthetic concepts of the poet-philosopher are analyzed, revealing his unique understanding of literary creation as a synthesis of art, philosophy, and poetry. The work also assesses the impact of Novalis's ideas on the formation and development of the romantic movement in European culture, his role in shaping new aesthetic and philosophical orientations, as well as the connection between the author's works and broader cultural and intellectual processes of that time. For researching the roles of the author and Novalis's philosophical-literary views in the context of Romanticism, the use of a comprehensive set of methods is relevant. Primarily, textual analysis is applied, along with historical-literary and comparative methods. The scientific novelty of this study lies in the comprehensive analysis of the author's role in Novalis's work, emphasizing the innovative perspective of the romantics on authorship. A philosophical-aesthetic interpretation of Novalis's poetic and theoretical concepts is undertaken, revealing a unique understanding of literary creation as a synthesis of art, philosophy, and poetry. Identifying the influence of Novalis's ideas on the formation of Romanticism as a cultural-historical phenomenon is of particular importance, including an analysis of the interconnection of his creative legacy with broader intellectual and aesthetic processes of the era. Thus, the work expands existing notions about the author's role in romantic literature and contributes to a deeper understanding of the cultural-philosophical foundations of Romanticism and the role of the author in shaping the perspectives of subsequent generations of philosophers and writers.
