Romanticism

What is Romanticism?

Origins of romanticism started in England and Germany during the 18th century this was a direct reaction to the enlightenment. This type of writing was at its peak during the American and French Revolution. This type of poetry is very self involved where the tone of the writing would be emotions over reason. Romanticism isn't generally about love, but instead its more involved with the perceived beauties of nature and what the writers found passionate about. The purpose of these writings is to show the joys, beauty and the dangers of nature along with how they describe their meaning of beauty. But it would always be different with every writer the general idea would be beauty and what the writer interprets from it.
