The Romantic Movement The Romantic focus on the imagination was a direct reaction to eighteenth- century rationalism, and specifically against the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution.

The Major Romantic Poets: 1. William Blake 2. William Wordsworth 3. Samuel Taylor Coleridge 4. Percy Bysshe Shelley 5. Lord Byron 6. John Keats

The Romantic Movement, #1 Concern for human society marks the early English Romantics, who describe a time when England will be free from oppression and injustice, and all men will enter into a new age and a new heaven on earth. Some poets despise the ugliness of the expanding urban poverty and urges a return to a spiritual home in nature. They question conventions and authority in order to imagine a better, fairer and healthier way to live. Focus upon personal and spiritual emancipation/freedom.

The Romantic Movement, #2 Romantic poetry frequently focuses on images of nature, which is viewed as a force that expresses sympathy with human beings. Nature was believed to be our “spiritual home.” Romanticism also features melancholy settings, such as deserted castles or monasteries on lonely hillsides.

The Romantic Movement, #3a Despite the variety of opinion and style within English Romantic poetry, one idea remains central to the movement: Individual experience is the primary source of truth and knowledge. All feelings are valid; all emotions are true.

The Romantic Movement, #3b Romanticism stressed strong emotion and the individual imagination as the ultimate critical and moral authority. The Romantic poets, therefore, felt free to challenge traditional notions of form. They likewise found themselves abandoning social conventions, particularly the privileges of the aristocracy, which they believed to be detrimental to individual fulfillment.

Thomas Gainsborough, Cottage Girl With Dog and Pitcher, 1785

Thomas Gainsborogh’s An Extensive Landscape With Cattle And A Drover

The Honorable Mrs. Graham, Thomas Gainsborough, 1788 While the literature of the Enlightenment focused on the hero and the high- ranking socialite, the Romantics celebrated the commoner, the laborer, and the “underprivileged.” Eighteenth-century aesthetics had favored the highly ornate and artificial (as epitomized by Baroque music and architecture), but the Romantics strove to emphasize beauty in simplicity and in genuine nature.
