| | Romanticism in art, European and American |
 | | Another school of German Romantic painting was formed by the Nazarenes, a group of artists who attempted to recover the style and spirit of medieval religious art; its leading figure was Johann Friedrich Overbeck. | | | Its greatest exponent, and the greatest German Romantic painter, was Caspar David Friedrich, whose meditative landscapes, painted in a lucid and meticulous style, hover between a subtle mystical feeling and a sense of melancholy, solitude, and estrangement. | | | In England, as in Germany, landscapes suffused with Romantic feeling became the chief expression of Romantic painting but the English artists were more innovative in style and technique. |

| | Toward a Definition of Romanticism |
| | The term Romantic as a designation for a school of literature opposed to the Classic was first used by the German critic Karl Wilhelm Friedrich von Schlegel (1772-1829) at the beginning of the 19th century. | | | If the Romantic often sees his enemy in the successful bourgeois, the Philistine with a vested interest in social stability, political revolution is not always his goal. | | | Since no single figure or literary school displays all the characteristics considered to be "Romantic," any general definitions tend to be imprecise. |

| | Curran explains the veritable "explosion" of publications of original poetry during the Romantic era as inspired by a new knowledge of poetic history and a desire "[t]o be 'among the English Poets'" (221): "For the first time there was an actual history not of literature per se, but of poetry in English. | | | Curran's essay shows that Romantic poets, having for the first time access to previous periods of poetry, were the first group of poets to conceive of themselves as constituting a literary period | | | I want to know what is at stake in our blindness to the moment that canonicity became a value (the Romantic period, I argue) and in our insistence on that moment as being "worlds apart" from our present moment. |

| | Romantic music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Romantic music is related to Romantic movements in literature, art, and philosophy, though the conventional periods used in musicology are now very different from their counterparts in the other arts, which define "romantic" as running from the 1780s to the 1840s. | | | The era of Romantic music is defined as the period of European classical music that runs roughly from the early 1800s to the first decade of the 20th century, as well as music written according to the norms and styles of that period. | | | The late Romantic period saw the rise of national "styles" which were associated with the folk music and poetry of particular countries, and with the important composers from that country. |

| | Romanticism |
| | However, as an international movement affecting all the arts, Romanticism begins at least in the 1770's and continues into the second half of the nineteenth century, later for American literature than for European, and later in some of the arts, like music and painting, than in literature. | | | Finally, it should be noted that the revolutionary energy underlying the Romantic Movement affected not just literature, but all of the arts--from music (consider the rise of Romantic opera) to painting, from sculpture to architecture. | | | In Romantic theory, art was valuable not so much as a mirror of the external world, but as a source of illumination of the world within. |

| | Children, especially, were esteemed in literature of the Romantic Period, and females were much more likely than in the past to be significant characters. | | | A revolutionary difference from literature of the past was the Romantics use of normal everyday language in their poetry--the language of the common man. Also, there was an increasing importance of children and women. | | | Romantic literature was also a break with classicism, which creates its own themes and forms. |

| | Romanticism was a movement in poetry (and art and literature in general) of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, in revolt against the type of poetry of previous centuries. | | | The German poet Friedrich Schlegel first used the term romantic to describe literature, defining it as "literature depicting emotional matter in an imaginative form." The British Romantic poets lived through a period of rapid social change (brought about by the French Revolution) and responded fully to these changes in their writing. | | | Although he was not a poet of the Romantic period, the style of his work is as such that he could be. |
