32. Romanticism
• Romanticism can be seen as a rejection of the
precepts of order, calm, harmony, balance,
idealization, and rationality that typified late
18th-century Neoclassicism.
• It was also to some extent a reaction against the
Enlightenment and against 18th-century
rationalism and physical materialism in general.
• Romanticism emphasized the individual, the
subjective, the irrational, the imaginative, the
personal, the spontaneous, the emotional, the
visionary, and the transcendental.
