2. Romanticism Many writers of the 1800’s, reacting against the age of reason and science joined an artistic movement known as romanticism. Their work appealed to the imagination and spirit of individuality {They showed life as they wanted it to be rather than how it was} Romantics valued emotion and instinct above reason In Britain poets included Wordsworth, Keats, and lord Byron Other writers include Sir Walter Scott in Scotland, The Grimm Brothers in Germany, and James Fenimore Cooper in America

4. Music In Music like in literature there was a movement toward romanticism One of the inspirations for this was German composer Ludwig Von Beethoven He expressed his love of nature in Pastoral Symphony Beethoven’s music became known for its powerful and passionate emotions Tchaikovsky wrote ballet music, operas and symphonies His works were often built around stories such as Sleeping Beauty, Romeo and Juliet, and Napoleon’s defeat in Russia Other composers include Wagner (VAHG nuhr), Verdi, and Chopin (SHOH pan)

6. Art and Architecture Romantic painters, like romantic writers, chose subjects from the past and their paintings were full of drama and action Some opted for painting outside rather than in the studio. As a result their color use was more vivid and intense In architecture there was a return to the so called gothic revival of the mid 1800’s The gothic revival was an attempt to recreate the great architectural style of the middle ages This is reflected in many Churches, colleges, and public buildings in the US
