William Wordsworth Romanticism

Answer the following question: What does it mean to call something Romantic?

For the following statements, state whether you agree or disagree

The answers to life’s most puzzling questions can be found through discussion with a simple person who lives in the country close to nature- not with a sophisticated, well-educated person from the city. The answer to life’s most puzzling questions can be found through a connection with nature.

The use of one’s imagination is more important than rational though. Subjectivity is more important than objectivity. Knowledge is gained through gut reactions and subjective hunches rather than level-headed, objective, deductive thought.

Nature is more important than art. Experimental trial and error is a better process than the conventional scientific method. Poetry should be spontaneous and full of emotion, not planned and straightforward. Sensitivity, feelings, and spontaneity are more important than intellectualism. “Dare to be” is a better battle-cry than “dare to know.”
