Abstract

The subject of this article is the novel Henry of Ofterdingen of the romantic poet Novalis and the allegorical aspects of the dream and the cave, according to the interpretation of the philosopher and cultural critic Walter Benjamin. In Novalis’ work, we come across the figure of a traveler and his journey away from daily concerns/ preoccupations. The hero bears the name of a legendary and historical figure of the German Middle Ages, the great poet and Minnesinger Henry of Ofterdingen, indicating the author's wish to combine past, legendary or actual facts with current and future ones.
