What is American Romanticism? Romanticism is an artistic and literary movement during the 19th Century which was in direct response to the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. It is characterized by the 5 I’s Imagination Intuition Idealism Inspiration Individuality

Origins of American Romanticism? The French Revolution The lower class rebelled to create a democratic government opposed to a dictatorship, which impressed British writers. Spawned the ideas of social reform against industry as it causes urban blight, destroys nature, and alienates people. Established the belief that humanity was naturally good but was tainted by society’s institutions (school, religion, government).

A Time for Change in America Americans declared their independence from England and reveled in it. Integrity of the church was failing and greed causes America to get caught up in industry. This change from agriculture to industry lead to: Towns becoming cities Villagers being forced to work long hours in factories for little pay, no longer able to be self-sufficient Children suffering greatly A huge division in social class and life style

Romantic Beliefs: The 5 I’s imagination Imagination was linked directly to creativity, forward thinking, and the expression of the self Intuition Feelings and instincts were more important than logic and reasoning Idealism A belief that we can make the word a better place by focusing on the spirit, mind, and instead of matter Inspiration Being spontaneous and inspired is more important than being technical or precise

Romantic Beliefs: The 5 I’s Individuality Romantics celebrated the individual, that is the unique beliefs and values of each individual as a member of society where all men have a right to their own life. This is not a selfish belief like, “I’ll do what ever the hell I want.” Instead it is a respect for each individual’s life, your own included like, “you do your thing, I’ll do mine.” During this time period, Women’s Rights and Abolitionism were taking root as major movements. According to Romantics, there is no such thing as a collective thought, all agreements are a compromise of individuals because everyone thinks for themselves.

Romanticism Reflection What can you tell about the Romantics based on the art work they created? Think about their beliefs (5 I’s) and the fact that they are responding to the revolution occurring in America. Write 2-3 sentences about each work of art.
