2. Romanticism as defined by the Oxford Companion to
American Literature:
"Romanticism is a term that is associated with
imagination and boundlessness, . A romantic attitude
may be detected in literature of any period, but as an
historical movement it arose in the 18th and 19th
centuries. The most clearly defined romantic literary
movement in the U. S. was Transcendentalism.
3. • Nature
• Sublime
• Rebellion
• political liberalism
• celebration of natural
beauty and the simple
life
• introspection,
psychology, and
supernatural concepts
common man
• interest in the
picturesque past
• interest in remote places
• individualism
• morbid melancholy
• historical romance
Characteristics of the Romantic movement in American
literature are:
4. How and why?
American Romanticism was influenced by European
Romanticism.
Influential European artists and writers broke away
from formalities and rationalities of the
Enlightenment/Age of Reason.
Philosophers, artists, and writers were concerned with:
continuing decay of urban life
possibilities for workable democracy
a middle class frustrated with a government which
brought them little in the way of additional power
5. In the arts, Romanticism promoted a popular
taste for wild landscapes, ominous skies,
ancient ruins, picturesque rusticity, and
other settings for intuitive inspiration.
7. What does
“Transcendentalism” mean?
0 Transcendentalism comes from the Latin
word transcendere, which means to "climb over or
American transcendentalism movement were indeed
beyond" traditional empirical thinking. Ralph Waldo
transcendentalist, summed up the beliefs of
said, "What lies behind us, and what lies before us
are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
8. Where did it come from?
0Ralph Waldo Emerson gave German
philosopher Immanuel Kant credit for
popularizing the term “transcendentalism.”
0It began as a reform movement in the
Unitarian church.
0It is not a religion—more accurately, it is a
philosophy or form of spirituality.
0Emerson first expressed his philosophy of
Transcendentalism in his essay Nature.
9. Basic Premise #1
An individual is the
spiritual center of the
universe, and in an
individual can be found
the clue to nature, history
and, ultimately, the
cosmos itself. It is not a
rejection of the existence
of God, but the idea that
God exists differently in
each individual.
10. Basic Premise #2
The structure of the
universe literally
duplicates the structure
of the individual self—
all knowledge,
therefore, begins with
self-knowledge. This is
similar to Aristotle's
dictum "know thyself."
12. Basic Premise #4
The belief that individual virtue and
happiness depend upon self-
realization—this depends upon the
reconciliation of two universal
psychological tendencies:
1. The desire to embrace the whole world—
to know and become one with the world.
2. The desire to withdraw, remain unique
and separate—an egotistical existence.
13. Who were some of the most
influential
Transcendentalists?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Henry David Thoreau
Margaret Fuller
14. Ralph Waldo Emerson
01803-1882
0Unitarian minister
0Poet and essayist
0Founded the Transcendental Club
0Popular lecturer
0Banned from Harvard for 40 years

address
0Supporter of abolitionism

Transcendentalism?
Could you identify some notable authors of the time
period?
Could you explain how historical change affected the
literature of the time period?

on nature, they loved trees,
flowers, mountains, clouds,
birds and even seasons.
0 Romantics found inspiration
for their poetry, wisdom and
happiness in nature.
Come forth into the light of
things, let nature be your
teacher. William
Wordsworth.
Nature never did betray the
heart that loved her. William
Wordsworth
29. Scenery is fine but human
nature is finer. John Keats.
0 Romantics were writing about
nature because people were
going away from nature and
were attracted toward

toward nature, imaginations,
feelings etc.

political and economic
situation of society.
0 It can be seen in the poem
LONDON by William Blake.
31. Interest in Greek and Roman
antiquity
0 Romantics were interested in
the ancient past especially in
Greek and Roman ruins.
0 That’s the reason why some of
the romantics traveled to
Greece and Italy-sites of these
two civilizations.
0 Even three of the famous
romantics: John Keats, Percy
Bysshe Shelley, died in these
two countries.
0 Ode on a Grecian Urn by
John Keats, and Ozymandias
by P.B Shelley, these are the
living example of their love for
ancient past and ruins.
32. Focus on Individualism and
Subjectivity
0 Individualism is one of the basic
characteristic of Romanticism,
instead of norms of society their
focus was on individual’s
feelings, their freedom and
importance of an individual.

element of romanticism and
was the centre element of
their writing.

the difference and imagination
the similitude of things”.

about emotions and feelings
0 A thing of beauty is joy
forever. John Keats.
0 Love is my religion I could die
for it. John Keats.

overflow of feelings. William
Wordsworth.
0 To be angry is to revenge the
faults of others on ourselves.
Alexander Pop.
35. Salient features of
Escapism
0 Romantic writers were mostly
escapist which means they were
living in their own world of
imagination.
0 John Keats in one of his ode, Ode
to Nightingale wanted to fly
away with nightingale.
0 Similarly William Wordsworth in
his poem THE daffodils compare
himself with clouds.
0 A famous saying of John Keats
“My imagination is a monastery
and I am its monk” explains
escapism in a better way.
36. Influence of French
revolution

by French revolution especially
from its ideas like freedom,
individual rights, voice against
slavery.
0 Different romantic writings reflect
these ideas such as:
