3. What is romanticism ?
Romanticism is a cultured movement focused
on emotion and mystical feeling instead of
reason and science to develop nationalist
sentiment.
They helped create a sense of collective
heritage and
cultural past as part of nation building through
use of folk songs, dances & music.

4. Romanticism, attitude or intellectual orientation that characterized
many works of literature, painting, music, architecture, criticism, and historiography in
Western civilization over a period from the late 18th to the mid-19th century.
Romanticism can be seen as a rejection of the precepts of order, calm, harmony,
balance,
idealization, and rationality that typified Classicism in general and late 18th-century
Neoclassicism in particular. It was also to some extent a reaction against
the Enlightenment
and against 18th-century rationalism and physical materialism in general.
Romanticism emphasized the individual, the subjective, the irrational, the imaginative,
the personal, the spontaneous, the emotional, the visionary, and the transcendental.
Introduction

5. Literature
Romanticism was a literary movement that began in
the late 18th century, ending around the middle of the
19th century—although its influence continues to this
day. Marked by a focus on the individual (and the
unique perspective of a person, often guided by
irrational, emotional impulses), a respect for nature
and the primitive, and a celebration of the common
man, Romanticism can be seen as a reaction to the
huge changes in society that occurred during this
period, including the revolutions that burned through
countries like France and the United States, ushering
in grand experiments in democracy.

6. Definition
The term Romanticism does not stem directly
from the concept of love, but rather from the
French word romaunt (a romantic story told in
verse). Romanticism focused on emotions and
the inner life of the writer, and often used
autobiographical material to inform the work or
even provide a template for it, unlike traditional
literature at the time. Romanticism celebrated
the primitive and elevated "regular people" as
being deserving of celebration, which was an
innovation at the time. Romanticism also fixated
on nature as a primordial force and encouraged
the concept of isolation as necessary for spiritual
and artistic development.

7. Characteristics of Romanticism
Romantic literature is marked by six primary
characteristics:
1. celebration of nature.
2. focus on the individual and spirituality.
3. celebration of isolation and melancholy.
4. interest in the common man.
5. idealization of women and.
6. personification and pathetic fallacy.

8. The most important elements in Romanticism
were :
1. feeling for nature
2. emphasis on subjective sensibility and
emotion
3. emphasis on imagination, as opposed to
reason
4. interest in the past, the mysterious and the
exotic

9. Notable possessions of romanticism

Delacroix
Liberty Leading the People, oil
painting (1830) by French artist Eugène
Delacroix commemorating the July
Revolution in Paris that removed Charles
X, the restored Bourbon king, from the
throne. The heroic scene of rebellion was
initially received with mixed reviews, but it
became one of Delacroix’s most popular
paintings, an emblem of the July
Revolution and of justified revolt.
