For our video we will be discussing many ways that Romanticism was expressed. We will included Poetry, Literature, Visual Art, and Music. We will include many music clips and possibly a YouTube video. Our pictures we will be showing will have various things such as paintings, artists, musical artists, and writers.

Romanticism largely began as a reaction against the ideas of the Enlightenment. Poetry played a huge role in the idea of romanticism. Many famous poets emerged in the era of romanticism. One of the most famous writers of all time was a romantic poet/short-story writer. Edgar Allen Poe, a native of Baltimore, wrote both poems and short stories and earned fame in both branches of literature. Arguably his most famous poem was "The Raven." The poem is noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. Another famous poem by Poe was "The Tale Tale Heart." Poe was probably the most notable writer but other poets made their own name. Another very famous poet in the age of romanticism was William Wordsworth. Wordsworth was known most for his sonnets. Some of his more notable poems were "Intimations of Immortality," and "Laodamia." Possibly his most famous poem was "Daffodils." Here is a video of Wordsworth's famous poem "Daffodils." Other famous romantic poets were William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, and Matthew Arnold.
 * Romanticism Poetry**

Romanticism is largely known from its literature. The father of romantic literature is Washington Irving which was the inspiration to many romantic writers. There are two types of romantic writers, a light and dark. Irving and James Fennimore Cooper are light and Nathainiel Hawthorne and Edgar Allen Poe are dark. A light romantic writer emphasizes the importance of natures influence on the heart. the dark romatic writers emphasizes the darkness's of the human heart. Irving is known for his book "Rip Van Winkle" which is about a mysterious long slumber a farmer falls into. Cooper is famous for his story" The last of the Mohicans" which is about struggle for a native family during the Freanch American war. Nathaniel Hawthorne's notable book the "Scarlet Letter" is about the life a targeted adultor. Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" is about mans annoyance to his caretaker.

Romanticism Visual Art included pictures or paintings. In thier works, artists focused on nature or spirtual things. Romantic Artists believed that imagination was superior for reason and beauty. Artists ideas were based around anything exotic,mysterious, or satanic. Romatic Art has been centered in Europe for generations and have continued to grow around the World. North America's movement called Hudson River School started Romantic Art across the United States. Some famous artists of the Romantic time are J.M.W. Turner, William Blake, Theodore Gericault, and Joseph Mallord William.

Romantic Music was an important part of romanticism. Musicians of this time left the styles of the Enlightenment and created their own new style. This new type of music focused on emotions and helped create an emotional connection and experience with its listeners. Opera house set the stage for musicians by allowing its listeners to get a first hand look and feel of the music. Beethoven's musical works stood out most during this time because of his pianistic abilities and his work with string quartets. Tchaikovsky was known for his strong melodic works, which were thought of as unusual to some people during this time. Chopin created his own style of music during this time using the piano and the keyboard. He never wrote an opera or a symphony but is regarded as one of the best from his time.

Research: __**Story**__ Much of Hawthorne's writing centers around New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, dark romanticism. His themes often center on the inherent evil and sin of humanity and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity. His published works include novels, short stories, and a biography of his friend Franklin Pierce. He was born as Edgar Poe in Boston, Massachusetts; his parents died when he was young. Poe was taken in by John and Frances Allan, of Richmond, Virginia, but they never formally adopted him. After spending a short period at the University of Virginia and briefly attempting a military career, Poe parted ways with the Allans. Poe's publishing career began humbly, with an anonymous collection of poems, //Tamerlane and Other Poems// (1827), credited only to "a Bostonian". Poe switched his focus to prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals, becoming known for his own style of literary criticism. His work forced him to move between several cities, including Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. In Baltimore in 1835, he married Virginia Clemm, his 13-year-old cousin. In January 1845, Poe published his poem "The Raven" to instant success. His wife died of tuberculosis two years later. He began planning to produce his own journal, //The Penn// (later renamed //The Stylus//), though he died before it could be produced. On October 7, 1849, at age 40, Poe died in Baltimore; the cause of his death is unknown and has been variously attributed to alcohol, brain congestion, cholera, drugs, heart disease, rabies, suicide, tuberculosis, and other agents.[3] Poe and his works influenced literature in the United States and around the world, as well as in specialized fields, such as cosmology and cryptography. Poe and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature, music, films, and television. A number of his homes are dedicated museums today.
 * **Washington Irving** (//**Rip Van Winkle**//) (April 3, 1783 – November 28, 1859) was an American author, essayist, biographer and historian of the early 19th century. He was best known for his short stories "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle", both of which appear in his book //The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.// His historical works include biographies of George Washington, Oliver Goldsmith and Muhammad, and several histories of 15th-century Spain dealing with subjects such as Christopher Columbus, the Moors, and the Alhambra. Irving also se[[image:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bf/Irving-Washington-LOC.jpg/421px-Irving-Washington-LOC.jpg width="89" height="208" align="right" caption="File:Irving-Washington-LOC.jpg"]]rved as the U.S. minister to Spain from 1842 to 1846.He made his literary debut in 1802 with a series of observational letters to the //Morning Chronicle//, written under the pseudonym Jonathan Oldstyle. After moving to England for the family business in 1815, he achieved international fame with the publication of //The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.// in 1819. He continued to publish regularly—and almost always successfully—throughout his life, and completed a five-volume biography of George Washington just eight months before his death, at age 76, in Tarrytown, New York.
 * James Fennimore Cooper (//**The Last of the Mohicans**//) (September 15, 1789 – September 14, 1851) was a prolific and popular American writer of the early 19th century. He is best remembered as a novelist who wrote numerous sea-stories and the historical novels known as the //Leatherstocking Tales//, featuring frontiersman Natty Bumppo. Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel //The Last of the Mohicans//, which many consider to be his masterpiece.
 * Nathaniel Hawthorne (//**The Scarlet Letter**//) was born in 1804 in the city of Salem, Massachusetts to Nathaniel Hathorne and Elizabeth Clarke Manning Hathorne. He later changed his name to "Hawthorne", adding a "w" to dissociate from relatives including John Hathorne, a judge during the Salem Witch Trials. Hawthorne attended Bowdoin College and graduated in 1825; his classmates included future president Franklin Pierce and future poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Hawthorne anonymously published his first work, a novel titled //Fanshawe//, in 1828. He published several short stories in various periodicals which he collected in 1837 as //Twice-Told Tales//. The next year, he became engaged to Sophia Peabody. He worked at a Custom House and joined a Transcendentalist Utopian community before marrying Peabody in 1842. The couple moved to The Old Manse in Concord, Massachusetts, later moving to Salem, the Berkshires, then to The Wayside in Concord. //The Scarlet Letter// was published in 1850, followed by a succession of other novels. A political appointment took Hawthorne and family to Europe before their return to The Wayside in 1860. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864, leaving behind his wife and their three children.
 * Edgar Allen Poe (**//The Tell-Tale Heart//)** was an American poet, short-story writer, editor and literary critic, and is considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective-fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction.[1] He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.[2]

==**Visual Art Romantic artists gave greater attention to capturing the sensual side of nature, and many Romantic paintings are landscape paintings. In the visual arts, Romanticism came to signify the departure from classical forms and an emphasis on emotional and spiritual themes. Artists believed in spontaneity, freedom from boundaries and rules, and living a solitary life free from societal boundaries. Romantic artists believed that imagination was superior to reason and beauty. They loved and worshipped nature and were dedicated to examining human personality and moods. Romantics were inherently curious, investigating folk cultures, ethnic origins, the medieval era. They admired the genius and the hero, focusing on one’s passion and inner struggle. Romantics also were interested in anything exotic, mysterious, remote, occult, and satanic. As a movement that began as an artistic and intellectual movement that rejected the traditional values of social structure and religion, it encouraged individualism, emotions, and nature. **== Artists held personal spirit and creativity above formal training and saw the artistic process as a transcendental journey and spiritual awakening. Romantic techniques were developed to produce associations in the mind of the viewer. These foundations of the Romantic Movement were influential in the development of Symbolism and later Expressionism and Surrealism. Romanticism might best be described as anticlassicism. A reaction against [|Neoclassicism], it is a deeply-felt style which is individualistic, exotic, beautiful and emotionally wrought.

Although Romanticism and Neoclassicism were philosophically opposed, they were the dominant European styles for generations, and many artists were affected to a lesser or greater degree by both. Artists might work in both styles at different times or even combine elements, creating an intellectually Romantic work using a Neoclassical visual style, for example.

Great artists closely associated with Romanticism include [|Caspar David Friedrich], [|John Constable], [|J.M.W. Turner] and [|William Blake].

In the North America, the leading Romantic movement was the [|Hudson River School] of dramatic landscape painting.

Obvious successors of Romanticism include the [|Pre-Raphaelite] movement and the [|Symbolist] painters. But [|Impressionism], and through it almost all of 20th century art, is also firmly rooted in the individualism of the Romantic tradition

 * Romantic Music**
 * romantic composers departed from traditional forms and styles of the Enlightenment
 * they fused music with imaginative literature creating operas
 * the music was meant to stir emotions
 * works from artists such as Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Chopin paved the way for romantic musical works


 * Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827), German composer, considered one of the greatest musicians of all time. Having begun his career as an outstanding improviser at the piano and composer of piano music, Beethoven went on to compose string quartets and other kinds of chamber music, songs, two masses, an opera, and nine symphonies.Beethoven’s music is generally divided into three main creative periods. The first, or early, period extends to about 1802, when the composer made reference to a “new manner” or “new way” in connection with his art. The second, or middle, period extends to about 1812, after the completion of his Seventh and Eighth symphonies. The third, or late, period emerged gradually; Beethoven composed its pivotal work, the //Hammerklavier// Sonata, in 1818. Beethoven’s late style is especially innovative, and his last five quartets, written between 1824 and 1826, can be regarded as marking the onset of a fourth creative period.
 * Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893), Russian composer, the foremost composer of the 19th century. Tchaikovsky is known for his colorful and unusual melodic gifts. Tchaikovsky was an exceptionally gifted orchestrator; his ballet scores in particular contain many striking effects of orchestral coloration. His symphonic works, popular for their melodic content, are also strong (and often unappreciated) in their abstract thematic development. In his best operas, such as //Eugene Onegin// and //The Queen of Spades,// he used highly suggestive melodic passages to depict a dramatic situation concisely and with poignant effect. Most notably //Swan Lake// and //The Sleeping Beauty,// have never been surpassed for their melodic intensity and instrumental brilliance.
 * Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849), Polish composer and pianist of the romantic school, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of piano music. Chopin is among the few composers to have written almost exclusively for the solo piano. He never wrote a symphony, an [|opera], or a choral piece; he did not produce a single string quartet. But dozens of his works, in a dozen or more forms—mazurkas, polonaises, ballades, and others—are now standard compositions for keyboard. Chopin was an unconventional musician who frequently abandoned the classical rules and disciplines. He created new harmonies and pioneered new musical forms in which to present his musical ideas.Chopin’s compositional technique was largely unconventional, and much of it challenged the accepted rules of musical training and procedure. A spontaneous creator of melody, Chopin was among the first to bring into Western music the then-unfamiliar Slavic scales and melodic intervals. He thus tended to undermine the carefully established harmonies of the late 18th century.
