Abstract
Although the term ‘folklore’ was invented in the epoch of romanticism, romantic literature was not objective toward traditional rural culture. Artists, writers and musicians included elements of rural culture (songs, proverbs, etc.) in their works, trying to prove that the folk tradition expressed national values. In such Polish texts as Zamek kaniowski or Dziennik podróży do Tatrów by Seweryn Goszczyński, folklore is subordinated to the romantic conventions. This is why such literary works cannot be considered as records of folklore, but instead as cases of romantic stilization.
