Romantic movement in literature

The Romantic movement in literature emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as a reaction against Enlightenment emphasis on reason and order. It focused on individual emotion, imagination, nature, and spirituality, valuing personal experience and intuition. Romantic writers often explored themes of beauty, heroism, and the sublime, emphasizing the power of feelings over logic. They celebrated the natural world and often highlighted feelings of wonder, mystery, and rebellion. This movement marked a shift toward valuing personal perspective and emotional depth, influencing a wide range of artistic and literary works that continue to resonate today.
