The Romantic Age

From the Augustan Age to the Romantic Age The Augustan Age emphasised the Reason as the supreme faculty by which all things were knowable  man had reason and so was in the position to understand that his environment functioned mechanistically; Vs. The Romantic Age, on the contrary, emphasised the subjective experience and invidivual perception  man had an intimate perception of reality and so was capable of understanding the truth, the mysterious essence of the universe.

The Augustan Age: the literary production The favourite genre was the novel Comedy of Manners = a critical and clear observation of the society with a moralizing aim through a mocking tone; Realistic novel= a matter-of-fact style and a nonintrusive narrator (Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver’s Travels…)  critical description of society (Swift’s satire); a celebration of the emerging middle class (Defoe’s works). Epistolary novel or sentimental novel= an exploration of the inner world of the characters in a epistolary form (Pamela…) description of the ordinary middle-class people with a moralizing aim

The Romantic Age The favourite genre was the poetry The Romantic poetry was expression of the inner world of the poet (emotions, feelings and sensations) IMAGINATION (= the creative power of human perception) the means through which feelings and emotions are translated into POETRY The poet is able to make the best use of this faculty and therefore -among men- he is the best to unlock the mysteries of life and experience the truth (Poet= PROPHET)

NATURE= had the power of inspiring strong emotions and putting the artist in touch with the infinite and the divine Nature = expression of the immanet presence of God in the world (PANTHEISM)

The great Revolutions and the Romantic Age The great revolutions which took place during the 18th century influenced the birth of this new literary movement (from the late 18th century to the coronation of Queen Victoria 1837) The escape into Nature The Industrial Revolution created a new environment where man’s place was completely different. The progressive mass-organization of society generated a feeling of estrangement.

The new idea of Freedom Thanks to the French Revolution a new idea of Freedom began to circulate. It led man to break the old patterns. In the social field it meant the push to demand more right and democracy (Reforms). In the private field, it represented to break the limits to express the private self and the emerging of the spontaneous and genuine emotions of the soul.
