Features of Romanticism  Romanticism sprang from a reaction against Enlightenment ideals  Whereas Enlightenment praised reason and its limits, Romantics were fascinated by extreme physical sensation and mental states – even terror and madness.  Romantic works as filled with exotic extremes, whimsy and caprice, nightmares and visions, innocent children, lone wanderers, and quests after the unattainable.

Romantic Ideals Continued  Whereas the skeptical intellectual represented the Enlightenment, the sublimely inspired poet inspired the Romantics  Romantics valued expressions of feeling  Deeply demonstrated a natural human sympathy both to nature and to the feelings of others.  In Romance, nature is always active, vital, and spontaneous.

Romantics….  The “Noble Savage” ideal was born during this period-the idea of instrinctive goodness  Placed their trust in instinct and the power of the imagination.  Romantic indictment of how science deforms nature took life in the gothic novel Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley  Coleridge and “Kubla Khan”  Many were inspired by the classics and thereby the Greeks opposition to the ruling Turks

Reading  “Kubla Khan” - Coleridge  “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” – Thomas Gray  “To a Mouse” – Robert Burns  “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman”
