Romanticism & Transcendentalism By: Stefany, Shawlame, Javon

Transcendentalism What is Transcendentalism? Transcendentalism is a belief that there is a spiritual reality that is above the physical reality A goal for Transcendentalism is to aim for perfection

Closest to Romanticism

Basic beliefs Everything in the world, including people, is a reflection of God, and the divine soul The physical world is a doorway to the spiritual world A person is his/her own authority not society, the church, or the government. God is in nature

The roots of transcendentalism Idealism ( Greek, 4thc B.C. ) Puritanism ( North American, 17th C ) Romanticism ( Europe and NA, Late 18th ) Transcendentalism ( NA, 19th C )

Romanticism A school of thought that values feeling and intuition over reason. Different from the modern definition of romantic

Principle Of Romanticism A reaction against rationalism The Declaration of independence is based on rationalist principles The imagination can reach truths that the rational mind cannot.

Dark Romanticism As opposed to the perfectionist beliefs of Transcendentalism, the Dark Romantics emphasized human fallibility and proneness to sin and self- destructions, as well as the difficulties inherent in attempts at social reform. The dark romantics adapted images of anthropomorphized evil in the form of Satan, devils, ghosts, werewolves, vampires, and ghouls to help display humans inherit negatives. Nathanial Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Edgar Allen Poe ( coincides with Gothic )
