‘A literary movement, and profound shift in sensibility, which took place in Britain and throughout Europe roughly between 1770 and 1848. Intellectually it marked a violent reaction to the Enlightenment. Politically it was inspired by the revolutions in America and France. … Socially it championed progressive causes … The stylistic keynote of Romanticism is intensity, and its watchword is Imagination’ - Margaret Drabble

‘a sweeping modern term applied to the profound shift in Western attitudes to art and human creativity. Its chief emphasis was upon freedom of individual self-expression: sincerity, spontaneity, and originality became the new standards in literature, replacing the decorous imitation of classical models favoured by eighteenth-century neoclassicism. Rejecting the ordered rationality of the Enlightenment as mechanical, impersonal, and artificial, the Romantics turned to the emotional directness of personal experience and to the boundlessness of individual imagination and aspiration’ - Chris Baldick

‘The first three decades of the nineteenth century saw the emergence of a heightened interest in the personality of the artist, evidenced in the phenomenal spate of biography [and] a passion for documenting the natural world, including the human and social world; it was a manifestation of a scientific curiosity that extended equally to the animal kingdom, to plants and to fossils. But where the poet was the subject, something more than curiosity was conveyed: a taste was beginning to emerge to see the artist as a hero’ - Marilyn Butler

‘Wordsworth’s “Preface” to the Lyrical Ballads of 1800 has something of the aspect of a romantic manifesto. [Its] basic assertion is that … poetry is the expression or overflow of feeling, or emerges from a process of imagination in which feelings play the crucial part [and that] the most important function of poetry is, by its pleasurable resources, to foster and subtilise the sensibility, emotions, and sympathies of the reader’ - M. H. Abrams
