Evidence of his fascination with the period of Adam Mickiewicz this is how Nehring described Polish Romanticism are substantial passages on this period in his coursebook<em> Kurs literatury polskiej dla użytku szkół</em> Poznań 1866.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nehring clearly stated there that development of Polish Poetry took place no sooner than in the period of Mickiewicz. In the mature period of his scientific work on literature of Romanticism there are outstanding studies on the most prominent texts by Polish inspired poets. Most important are essays on <em>Grażyna</em>, <em>Konrad Wallenrod</em> and <em>Pan Tadeusz</em> by Adam Mickiewicz, <em>Balladyna</em> and <em>Lilla Weneda</em> by Juliusz Słowacki and <em>Nie-Boska komedia</em> by Zygmunt Krasiński.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In his research Nehring particularly paid attention to both cultural background and genology genre. He was also the first scholar to systematically research on Mickiewicz's lectures in Paris <em>O paryskich prelekcjach Adama Mickiewicza</em>.
