“To say the word Romanticism is to say modern art – that is, intimacy, spirituality, color, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts.” - Charles Baudelaire Romanticism

Specifics of Romanticism 1770-1860 Originated as a movement in Europe Mutated once it reached America, but stayed mostly consistent Famous Romantic authors Edgar Allen Poe (Yay!) Washington Irving Nathaniel Hawthorne

Causes of Romanticism Reaction to the Enlightenment era, or the Age of Reason Era where science was incredibly important Many important scientific discoveries were made during this time Greatly influenced by the Industrial Revolution People didn’t want to lose their individuality during a time when machines were replacing hand laborers. The industrial life also led to a desire for the great outdoors Longed for freedom from the strictness of the early settlers Rejected religion and rational thought

Characteristics of romanticism Love of Nature Individuality Imagination Emotions vs. Reason The Supernatural

Two sides of the same coin The Supernatural The Love of Nature Gothic stories Creepy stories Poe! Stories about life after death Stories including the Devil Stories including Angels Stories about how beautiful nature is Stories about incredible feats of nature Stories about wonders of the world

Emotion vs. Reason Guided by intuition Let your feelings guide your choices Do what makes you feel better Age of Enlightenment All about scientific studies Let science and rules guide your choices
