Romanticism (Romantic Era)

Romanticism was an intellectual movement of the late 18th to mid-19th centuries that influenced many works of literature, art, and music.

Neoclassicalicism poems are, generally, from the time frame of 1660-1798. This literary period includes writers and philosophers such as Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, John Dryden, Isaac Newton, John Lock, Moliere, Mary Rowlandson, and Benjamin Franklin. In Great Britain, this age begins with the restoration of Chalres II to the throne of England and it ends with the publication of lyrical ballads. Most of the writers are returnign to the styles of Greek and Roman classics for their original work, hence "Neoclassical" means "new classical age." This is part of the Enlightenment.

Next, Romanticism. 1785-1800. The works here takes more of the nature and love themes. We see the birth of the novel at this time also, as well as individulaism and different target markets. writers are now writing to the middle class, criticizing social standards that existed in the hoem to this point. Women also begin to be main characters and are being examined more as equals instead of sub servants of their fathers and husbands.

Romanticism was a period of intellectual, literary and artistic ideals. Artwork seemed to focus more on the aesthetically pleasing and emotional aspects of a work. Horses were often painted as a symbol for romanticism because they were so much more powerful and yet more majestic than man. Literature such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is considered romantic. Romantic literature has many Gothic elements and often feature an anti-hero (Byronic hero if you're familiar with the term). Intellectually, romanticism had a certain emphasis on the sublime. This can be read in Edmund Burke's Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful. This stated that the sublime is a paradoxical feeling such as delight and terror at the same time. Another thing that came out of romanticism is an emphasis on something known as orientalism which basically says that people of Africa and other "primitive" regions of the Earth could give better insight into the emotionally pleasing aspects of life than could those enveloped in society. Thus, artists such as Delacroix traveled to Africa. Finally, romanticism helped to portray nationalism as can be seen in Antoine-Jean Gros' Bataille D'Aboukir and Delacroix's liberty leading the people. Antoine Gros, thought widely considered a neoclassical painter, was the favorite painter of Napoleon Bonaparte because of his ability to emotionally connect his paintings with Napoleon and his audience. A feat Jacque-Louis David could not accomplish as a stronger neoclassical painter. The romantic period brought many powerful works of art.

What is realism in a story?

Asked by Wiki User

Versimilitude, or little details that are actuallytrue comes a long way in making a story realistic. These do not need to be major details, things such as a place name, or a minor person with little effect on the story can make all the difference. It is not about making the fiction realistic so much as it is about making the world the fiction takes place in seem realistic. If the universe sounds like it might exist, the reader is more willing to go with the author. But get the little things right, such as places, names, historic events, and the reader will believe the world exists.

This can also be taken further out into tricking the reader's mind. For example if one were to right a story set on a alien world in a different year, one can not have historical details to add realism to it, but what one can do is to create those events, they need not be drawn out, but mentioned in passing. These little details make the universe seem real.

And the last bit of advice is on the characters. Make them partially flawed, any ubermensch will subtract substantially from the reality, instead ensure each character has a flaw, but do not make the flaws obvious, because a character that is "made of fail" as it were is just as unbeleivable as a perfect character. Take for example character A who is a glutton, the appropriate way to show realism would be to show the character eating maybe a bit more than the other characters each time. Let the reader's mind connect the dots, do not tell them.
