1. Imagination a.Imagination was emphasized over “reason.” b.This was a backlash against the “Age of Reason.” c.Imagination was considered necessary for creating all art. d.British writer Samuel Taylor Coleridge called it “intellectual intuition.”

2. Intuition a.Romantics placed value on “intuition,” or feeling and instincts, over reason. b.Emotions were important in Romantic art. c.British Romantic William Wordsworth described poetry as “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.”

3. Idealism a.Idealism is the concept that we can make the world a better place. b.Idealists believe that thought has a crucial role in making things happen— mind over matter. c.Immanuel Kant, a German philosopher, held that the mind forces the world we perceive to take the shape of space-and- time.

4. Inspiration a.The Romantic artist, musician, or writer is an “inspired creator” rather than a “technical master.” b.What this means is “going with the moment” or being spontaneous, rather than “getting it precise.”

5. Individuality A.Romantics celebrated the individual. B.During this time period, Women’s Rights and Abolitionism were taking root as major movements. C.Walt Whitman, a Romantic writer, wrote a poem entitled “Song of Myself.” It begins, “I celebrate myself…”

III. Visual Arts A.Art from the Age of Reason was rigid, severe, and unemotional B.Romantic art was emotional, deeply- felt, individualistic, and exotic.

IV. Music A.“Classical” music emphasized internal order and balance. 1.Included composers like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Franz Josef Haydn. B.Romantic music emphasized expression of feelings. 1.Romantic musicians included composers like Frederic Chopin, Franz Lizst, Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky

V. Literature A.In America, Romanticism most strongly impacted literature. B.Writers explored supernatural and gothic themes.
