together man v~dth man inside a human society” (HSWS, 147). Esta convicción<br />

romántica consiste <strong>en</strong> concebir la sociedad como un todo orgánico “more than<br />

the sum of the individuals vuho compose it” (SE, 137-138), <strong>en</strong> donde “natural<br />

laws of communal feeling operate surely yet with unmasterable subtlety of<br />

ramification and cross-refer<strong>en</strong>ce» (SE, 137), si<strong>en</strong>do éstas “unwritt<strong>en</strong> laws of<br />

decorum binding together a long-established community’ (SE, 47>. Davie<br />

caracteriza así este tipo de sociedad:<br />

culture. (SE, 122-123)<br />

El goticismo de Mickiewicz deriva, pues, de una concepción de la<br />

sociedad como una estructura orgánica. No obstante, el goticismo del autor<br />

polaco no es c<strong>en</strong>tral, es decir, no afecta a la estructura interna de su obra. En<br />

palabras de Davie “Pan Tadeusz can carry the weight of inv<strong>en</strong>tiv<strong>en</strong>ess at the<br />

level of diction as at the level of plot, only because the plot, for alí its<br />

elaboration, is at bottom, as the neo-classic theorists used fo say, a single<br />

action” (SE, 134). De ahí que Davie afirme que “The style of Mickiewicz is<br />

manly and simple. (SE, 46)1.<br />

‘A nuestro juicio la unidad de acción <strong>en</strong> la estructura narrativa es relacEonable con el princEpio<br />

de unicidad y c<strong>en</strong>fralización, propio de una sociedad pafrEarcal como la que Davie describe.<br />
