Romanticism - is a complex, self-contradictory artistic, literary, and intellectual movement that originated in the second half of the 18th century in Western Europe, and gained strength during the Industrial Revolution which followed the Enlightenment. It traveled quickly to the Western Hemisphere, and in its musical form has triumphed around the globe, so that from London to Boston to Mexico City to Tokyo to Vladivostok to Oslo, the most popular orchestral music in the world is that of the romantic era. Beginning in the last decades of the 18th century, it transformed poetry, the novel, drama, painting, sculpture, all forms of concert music (especially opera), and ballet. It was deeply connected with the politics of the time, echoing people's fears, hopes, and aspirations. It was the voice of revolution at the beginning of the 19th century and the voice of the Establishment at the end of it. This last shift was the result of the triumph of the class which invented, fostered, and adopted as its own the romantic movement: the bourgeoisie. Romanticism.

 Romanticism is the name of the intellectual era which followed the Enlightenment. It is almost exactly opposite in its characteristics to the Enlightenment. The emphasis is upon emotion rather than reason; history and tradition rather than objective planning; admiration of nature rather than control of nature. The emphasis on nature in its untouched state is expressed in the poetry of William [|�38�]Wordsworth [|�39�]. It is also expressed in paintings which focus on peaceful rural scenes. There is a reaction to the dirt and pollution, which accompanied industrialization, expressed in paintings which depict factories creating a kind of hell on earth with smoke and flames belching forth from the chimneys. Romanticism becomes the predominant intellectual movement after the disillusionment with the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars has set in. It remains predominant until the Revolutions of 1848 and the counter revolutions of 1849 had dispelled some of the illusions of that time. As with the Enlightenment and all other intellectual eras, the movement goes beyond politics into all aspects of intellectual life: art, literature, history and metaphysics. Romanticism.

The struggle for personal freedom and heroic rebellion against's society's established rules are frequent themes in their works.
