1 Romanticism Late 1700’s - mid 1800’s

2 Essential Questions What does a romantic view of the world look like?
What do all Romantics have in common, and how do they differ? How do Romantic authors use language to persuade their readers to accept their views? What are the Romantic authors trying to make us feel? Are they successful? Why do we have trouble getting into some authors, but fall in love with others? What would be the benefits or drawbacks of everybody having a romantic mindset? Do we have a romantic mindset already?
