Inspiration initially from two men: Jean Jacques Rousseau and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Jean-Jacques Rousseau Johann Wolfgang von Goethe st.htm

The Romantic Spirit Rousseau established the cult of the individual and the freedom of the human spirit: I felt before I thought. Frontispiece to Songs of Innocence by William Blake banach/song.htm

Goethe and others extolled the romantic spirit as manifested in German folk songs, Gothic architecture, and the plays of Shakespeare. Strasbourg (depicted in the late 18th c.) and Cologne Cathedrals planetware. com

The Preface to the second edition of Lyrical Ballads (1802) by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge: gspot.com

“I have said that poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility: the emotion is contemplated till, by a species of reaction, the tranquility gradually disappears, and an emotion, kindred to that which was before the subject of contemplation, is gradually produced, and does itself actually exist in the mind.”

“To whom does he address himself?” “And what language is to be expected from him?” “What is a Poet?”

“a man, it is true, endowed with more lively sensibility” “more enthusiasm and tenderness” “who has a greater knowledge of human nature” “and a more comprehensive soul, than are supposed to be common among mankind” “- He is a man speaking to men”

“The language, too, of these men* has been adopted (purified indeed from what appear to be its real defects, from all lasting and rational causes of dislike or disgust)...” *men of humble and rustic life “And what language is to be expected from him?”

“Humble and rustic life was generally chosen, because, in that condition, the essential passions of the heart find a better soil in which they can attain their maturity, are less under restraint, and speak a plainer and more emphatic language......and, lastly, because in that condition the passions of men are incorporated with the beautiful and permanent forms of nature.” Nature

Nature and the Countryside Reaction to the industrial revolution Rise of the bourgeoisie Contrast with the corruption of government (pastoral) Greenburn Bottom, near Grasmere, Cumbria

Politics Libertarian and abolitionist movements of the late 18th and early 19th centuries coincide with the romantic philosophy: freedom from convention and tyranny, the rights and dignity of the individual. Eugène Delacroix La Liberté guidant le peuple

Political and Social Causes William Blake – antinomian, anti-institutional William Wordsworth – French Revolution Lord Byron – Greek independence Shelley – political reform in England and Ireland Keats – opposition to political repression in England
