Abstract
The relationship between literature and the ideals of mankind proposes a theme that is referable to the more general theme of the relationship between poetry as form and content. Meant either as the representation of real things — as they might or should be — or as the expression of subjective feelings, poetry never deals with immediateness and, therefore, always implies a form of idealism.
