Romanticism “love of nature; sympathetic interest in the past, especially the medieval; mysticism; individualism. “specific characteristics embraced by these general attitudes are... the dropping of the conventional poetic diction in favor of fresher language and bolder figures; the idealization of rural life “enthusiasm for the wild, irregular, or grotesque in nature and art; unrestrained imagination; enthusiasm for the uncivilized or "natural"; “interest in human rights ( Burns, Byron ); sympathy with animal life ( Cowper ); sentimental melancholy ( Gray ); emotional psychology in fiction ( Richardson ).” Definitions from A Handbook to Literature, Sixth Edition C. Hugh Holman and William Harmon.

Realism “in the broadest sense, fidelity to actuality...verisimilitude. “pragmatism... with discernable consequences and verifiable by experience...a realist is] a believer in democracy, and the materials he elects to describe are the common, the average, the everyday...the ultimate of middle class art...subjects in bourgeois life and actions. “The realist eschews the traditional patterns of the novel. In part... a protest against the falseness and sentimentality...in Romantic fiction. “truthfully reflected life...avoid symmetry and plot.. value the individual very highly...praise characterization as the center of the novel. “ Simple, clear, direct prose...objectivity. Definitions from A Handbook to Literature, Sixth Edition C. Hugh Holman and William Harmon.

Romanticism v.
