“Slogans” for the Romantic Movement Appreciate nature

The Romantic Movement, #1 Concern for human society marks the early English Romantics, who describe a time when England will be free from oppression and injustice, and all men will enter into a new age and a new heaven on earth. Some poets despise the ugliness of the expanding urban poverty and urges a return to a spiritual home in nature. They question tradition and authority in order to imagine a better, fairer and healthier way to live.

The Romantic Movement, #2 Romantic poetry frequently focuses on images of nature, which is viewed as a force that expresses sympathy with human beings. Romanticism also features melancholy settings, such as deserted castles or monasteries on lonely hillsides.

The Romantic Movement, #3a Despite the variety of opinion and style within English Romantic poetry, one idea remains central to the movement: Individual experience is the primary source of truth and knowledge.

The Romantic Movement, #3b Romanticism stressed strong emotion and the individual imagination as the ultimate critical and moral authority. The Romantic poets, therefore, felt free to challenge traditional notions of form. They likewise found themselves abandoning social conventions, particularly the privileges of the aristocracy, which they believed to be detrimental to individual fulfillment.

The Honorable Mrs. Graham, Thomas Gainsborough, 1788 While the literature of the Enlightenment focused on the hero and the high- ranking socialite, the Romantics celebrated the commoner, the laborer, and the “underprivileged.” Eighteenth-century aesthetics had favored the highly ornate and artificial (as epitomized by Baroque music and architecture), but the Romantics strove to emphasize beauty in simplicity and in genuine nature.

The Romantic Movement The psychology of the Romantics: The nature of experience: its duality and fleeting quality were of great interest to the Romantics. Notice Blake's contrast between Innocence and Experience, the role of memory in Wordsworth's work, Shelley's lamenting the passing of an experience, and Keats' assertion that the imagined experience is better than the actual, in that it will never end. Beauty was to be found in Nature, not in man-made objects or concepts. The Romantics sought solitude in Nature, believing that the key to all emotional healing could be found in Nature. Nature imagery is the most predominant feature of Romantic literature. The concept of a pantheistic Nature (God exists in all things) became almost a religion for Wordsworth, Shelley, and Keats. In the “religion” of the Romantics, virtue was exemplified by being true to one's nature while “sin” occurred when denying one's own nature or forcing someone else to conform to a foreign code of principles or behavior (in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Blake wrote: “One law for the Lion and Ox is oppression”).
