Romanticism began in the early 19th century and radically changed the
|
|
way people perceived themselves and the state of nature around them. Unlike
|
|
Classicism, which stood for order and established the foundation for
|
|
architecture, literature, painting and music, Romanticism allowed people to
|
|
get away from the constricted, rational views of life and concentrate on an
|
|
emotional and sentimental side of humanity. This not only influenced
|
|
political doctrines and ideology, but was also a sharp contrast from ideas
|
|
and harmony featured during the Enlightenment. The Romantic era grew
|
|
alongside the Enlightenment, but concentrated on human diversity and
|
|
looking at life in a new way. It was the combination of modern Science and
|
|
Classicism that gave birth to Romanticism and introduced a new outlook on
|
|
life that embraced emotion before rationality.
|
|
|
|
Romanticism was a reactionary period of history when its seeds became
|
|
planted in poetry, artwork and literature. The Romantics turned to the poet
|
|
before the scientist to harbor their convictions (they found that the
|
|
orderly, mechanistic universe that the Science thrived under was too
|
|
narrow-minded, systematic and downright heartless in terms of feeling or
|
|
emotional thought) and it was men such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in
|
|
Germany who wrote "The Sorrows of Young Werther" which epitomized what
|
|
Romanticism stood for. His character expressed feelings from the heart and
|
|
gave way to a new trend of expressing emotions through individuality as
|
|
opposed to collectivism. In England, there was a resurgence into
|
|
Shakespearean drama since many Romantics believed that Shakespeare had not
|
|
been fully appreciated during the 18th century. His style of drama and
|
|
expression had been downplayed and ignored by the Enlightenment's narrow
|
|
classical view of drama. Friedrich von Schlegel and Samuel Taylorleridge
|
|
(from Germany and England respectively) were two critics of literature who
|
|
believed that because of the Enlightenment's suppression of individual
|
|
emotion as being free and imaginative, Shakespeare who have never written
|
|
his material in the 19th century as opposed to the 18th century. The
|
|
perception that the Enlightenment was destroying the natural human soul and
|
|
substituting it with the mechanical, artificial heart was becoming
|
|
prevalent across Europe.
|
|
|
|
The Lyrical Ballads, published in 1798, was a series of poems that
|
|
examined the beauty of nature and explored the actions of people in natural
|
|
settings. Written by William Woodsworth, this form of poetry was free,
|
|
expressive and without constraint as evident by this passage:
|
|
|
|
"If this belief from heaven be sent, If such be Nature's holy plan,
|
|
Have I not reason to lament, What man has made of man?"
|
|
|
|
Such passages from his work indicates that poetry and literature was
|
|
also used as a form of rebellion or distaste for political institutions or
|
|
social conditions during the 19th century. However, since most poets
|
|
thrived on the emotional and irrational abstract that they were writing
|
|
about, there was no specific category that this mode of thinking could fall
|
|
into. This was a strength since the freedom to explore nature was infinite
|
|
and without any restriction based on rules, law or doctrine. This
|
|
invariably led to a re-introduction into religion and mysticism; people
|
|
wanted to explore the unknown. The Genius of Christianity, written by Rene
|
|
de Chateaubriand, offered a contrast to Science. He found Christianity to
|
|
be "the most poetic, most human, the most conducive to freedom, to arts and
|
|
literature..." of all the religions and deduced that Science was lacking
|
|
this element which could benefit mankind.
|
|
|
|
The middle ages were regarded as a creative period when humans lived
|
|
close to the soil and were unblemished with the effects of
|
|
industrialization or urbanization. Romanticism began to show the people
|
|
that the Enlightenment had overstayed its welcome by leading the people to
|
|
a future that offered a vision of mankind as being part of a group rather
|
|
than an individual. G. W. F. Hegel, a German philosopher, rejected the
|
|
rational philosophy of the 18th century because he believed in "Idealism".
|
|
This involved looking at life in terms of the importance of ideas, not
|
|
thought the narrow tunnel of materialism and wealth. By advocating
|
|
Idealism, Hegel concluded that mankind could be led by his spirit, his
|
|
soul, rather than the establishment or the status quo. Although Romanticism
|
|
was perhaps conservative in nature, every participant of this swift and
|
|
silent movement could relish in his own free and glorious vision of nature.
|
|
|
|
Romanticism was not a political movement or a reformist package offered
|
|
by a group of dissidents; Romanticism was a time when mankind could
|
|
restructure his outlook on life so that he was able to reach new heights of
|
|
intellectual and political awareness. In the process of doing so, he found
|
|
answers to practical problems by simply using his heart and searching his
|
|
soul.
