    Romanticism is a faith in imagination or fantasy rather than faith in reason. In John Knowles’s novel A Separate Peace, romanticism is portrayed through the recurring idea of fantasy and unreality. The theme is displayed through the emphasis on melancholy and sadness when Gene’s happiness is vanishing, Gene’s intuition and reliance on natural feelings when he bounces the branch and causes Finny’s accident, and through Finny’s reliance on his imagination and emotion rather than formal rules.…

    The Romantics looked to nature as a liberating force, a source of sensual pleasure, moral instruction, religious insight, and artistic inspiration. Eloquent exponents of these ideals, they extolled the mystical powers of nature and argued for more sympathetic styles of garden design in books, manuscripts, and drawings now regarded as core documents of the Romantic Movement. Their cult of inner beauty and their view of the outside world dominated European thought during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.…

    As the Enlightenment had a firm hold in France during the last decades of the 18th century, so the Romantic view on science was a movement that flourished in Great Britain and especially Germany in the first half of the 19th century.[5] Both sought to increase individual and cultural self-understanding by recognizing the limits in human knowledge through the study of nature and the intellectual capacities of man. The Romantic movement, however, resulted as an increasing dislike by many intellectuals for the tenets promoted by the Enlightenment; it was felt by some that Enlightened thinkers' emphasis on rational thought through deductive reasoning and the mathematization of natural philosophy had created an approach to science that was too cold…

    Romanticism In Music

    The period of music that affects me more than others is romanticism. Starting from the humble beginnings of the French Revolution where reason and regard to the rights of individuals were at its peak of either falling or ascending. With the recognition of the newly found freedoms it’s not a surprise that the style of music and literature evolved. Enter Romanticism where the distinction between music was grand, where music had character, and where true life experiences could be told. That liberty is one of many reasons why I enjoyed this period.…

    Enlightenment and Romanticism are both periods of literature that not only are intriquing, but brought forth iconic pieces of work and ideas. I am a huge realist, but I am admittedly more of a Romantcism fan, which rejects reason. Still, I acknowldege the importance of the period and how it has set the foundation of American writing. Before reading work in the Romanticsm movement, I completely dreaded the idea of it. I had a preconcieved notion that it would consist of only love and romance. While there is nothing wrong with that, Romanticism is so much more. For example, I love the story "Rip Van Winkle" by Washington Irving. It consists of key elements of Romanticism including individualism and the supernatural. Irving's story, like most…

    Romanticism, commonly known as American romanticism, is writing in which feelings and intuition are valued over reason. It had a great influence over literature, music, and painting in the early eighteenth and well through the nineteenth centuries. It was commonly thought of as a trip into our imagination and could be written as stories, music, and paintings, but it was mainly found in poetry. In this essay, I will discuss the romantic qualities of “The Devil and Tom Walker” by Washington Irving, “Thanatopsis” by William Cullen Bryant, and “The Pit and the Pendulum” by Edgar Allen Poe.…
