Abstract
The article serves as a preliminary determination of the subject of disaster in the nineteenth century, explores different ways in which disaster existed in Romantic imagination and various attempts of its registration: literary, philosophical, press. It briefly describes the various dimensions of catastrophic discourse in the first half of the nineteenth century, associated with geological discoveries and their impact on Romantic historiosophy. It explores media and political processing of disasters and their existence in collective memory. It keeps track of various types of disasters associated with the development of civilisation and progressive approach to understand disaster also as an effect of civilisation hypertrophy, and not just the work of nature.
