literature

Romanticism emphasized the importance of emotion, imagination, and individualism in artistic expression, but it did not prioritize reason and logic.

Romanticism emphasized emotion, individualism, and the power of nature. It aimed to challenge the ideals of the Enlightenment by valuing intuition and subjective experience over rationalism and scientific thinking. Romanticism fostered a renewed interest in the beauty of the natural world and the mysteries of the human experience.

Gothic Romanticism and Traditional Romanticism are two types of Romanticism in literature.

Both romanticism and nationalism are movements that focus on positive overstatements of culture, politics, and values. They tend to paint with large brushes about emotional histories and developments. Specifically, romanticism was an oversimplification and love of European culture, traditions, and identity. It created the up-swell in pride for national identity that gave nationalism a strong footing.
