Characteristics of Romanticism
6

• Emphasis on emotion (a reaction to the emphasis
  on reason of the preceding period).

7

• Glorification of the imagination This group
  rejected the previous
• periods treatment of man as a limited being
  restricted by reason,
• and therefore, bound by tradition. The
  imagination became equated
• with creativity as contrasted to the imitative
  process followed by
• the previous neoclassicists.

8

• Emphasis on subjectivity and individuality
  Romanticists believed
• that everyone was unique and different. This
  eventually led to an
• appreciation for introspection, reverie, and
  melancholy. The
• brooding, solitary dreamer became a popular
  literary figure.

9

• Love, a preeminent theme Romantic writers often
  wrote about
• love, but their vision of love was usually
  spiritual in nature.
• They believed that for every person, there was a
  perfect soulmate
• the person in the world who provided his other
  half and made him a more complete person.
  Love, in other words, was a spiritual communion.

10

• Worship of nature Romanticists often set their
  poems or stories
• in the countryside and appreciated the rustic
  person who was close
• to nature and unspoiled by civilization. This
  cult of nature
• eventually led to the development of the
  theory of Pantheism, a
• theological belief that equates God with
  nature.

11

• Idealism This group believed that life could be
  made better and
• were often politically active in trying to
  bring about change, and
• many also believed that heaven could be found
  on earthor nowhere.

  have even had the pleasure of beholding small
  features, very fair flaxen ringlets, or rather
  golden, hanging loose on her delicate neck and
  eyeshad they been agreeable in expression, they
