The term of romanticism was first an English one that was in use in literature in the 1840's. By the time of its "creation" the writing movement it described had already been in existence for fifty years. The term itself can said to be a practice or a theory of literature and of the arts. Its first such writers are often said to be based on the works Wordsworth, Shelley, and Byron in England. Victor Hugo in France is said to be of the school of "romanticism". It became prominent also in Germany and slowly to the New World.The movement raised within itself the challenge to find "truth" in the human condition. These writers focused attention on human qualities such love, hurt and pain. This literary movement soon drifted over to thinking in social justice and the idea that public issues needed to be seen and reformed in light of its human consequences.
