Romanticism is difficult to define.
It is often described as a literary movement that took place during the age of Enlightenment – somewhere between 1770 to 1850 – but its not just a period in history, and its not just about literature.
It’s also a philosophy, a mentality, an attitude to life.
One with profound lessons for today.
There are a few key figures in the history of romanticism, and a few key movements. There were the English Poets – Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, Keats, Coleridge. The French Revolutionaries, particularly Rousseau. And the German philosophical romanitics, Shlegel, Schelling, Tieck, and others.
And while they’re all different, there are number of key characteristics that they share and that through which can be pieced together a romanticist manifesto.
This video looks at the English Romantics, the lake poets, the French tradition in Rousseau, and the German Romantics. I take a look at three poems: Coleridge’s ‘The Dungeon’, Wordsworth’s ‘Lines written in Early Spring’ part of Lyrical Ballads, and Coleridge’s This Lime-tree Bower my prison, and argue that through each we can see three key components of romanticism: individualism, nature, and imagination, that the German Romantics argued could be applied to anything as a way of life.
