This work explores the nature of Romantic literature that was about to be born in Friedrich
Schlegel's texts during the years around 1800. The main object of the study is the possibility
of thinking of Romantic literature as an attempt to integrate literature and philosophy. The
question that needs to be answered is the following: is it possible to see Schlegel's idea of
Romantic literature as a daybreak or nightfall between the daylight of reason and the mysteries
of creation? And secondly: if it is possible to think of Romantic literature as a combination
of reflection and productive fantasy then: how should we read and treat the exemplary Romantic
novel - Friedrich Schlegel's Lucinde?
