Genre & Style
 of Romanticism
“liberalism in literature”
-Victor Hugo
 Puts emphasis on the individual,
 beauty, nature, mysticism.
 Reactions against characterized
 neoclassicism. Expressing unique
 feelings.
•     the abandonment of the heroic
      couplet in favor of blank verse
             • the sonnet
     • experimental verse forms




                                        Style
         • the dropping of the
       conventional poetic diction in
       favor of fresher language and
                bolder figures
    • renewed interest in classical
       writers, such as Shakespeare
                  and Milton
So, romanticism writers were
basically the hipsters of American
literature…
                      …basically.
