 Romanticism in literature strayed from the optimistic Enlightenment idea of human dominion over nature and the belief that Reason would ultimately reign supreme. ROMANTICISM

 Revolutionary and chaotic, emotional rather than rational  The Romantic movement abhorred the 18th century's orderly imposition on nature and the designs of squared, tidy gardens.  Romanticism preferred the vast wildernesses of an indifferent and unpredictable nature with its endless forests, towering clouds and deafening waterfalls from icy giant peaks.  Honesty about feelings were now more important than wit; being and behaving genuine more important than artifice.  Themes such as liberation, mysticism, exotic orientalism, human insignificance and a darker psychology were common.  Poems and paintings alike found the moon and dreams more interesting than the sun and conscious thought.
