Intimately tied to the tenets of the Enlightenment, Romanticism
arose as a sort of reaction to that trend, most noticeably in the
arts. The movement, which originated in Europe in the late 18th
century and lasted until the mid- 19th century, focused on emotion,
imagination, an attachment to nature, nostalgia, and spirituality.
The art, music and literature produced by that period have been
some of history's most influential, and the tenets of the movement
spilled over into politics, especially in nationalistic causes.
This accessibly written volume is rounded out by primary source
documents, biographies of key figures, and a selected bibliography
of print and nonprint sources-an ideal resource for students being
introduced to the philosophies, works, and artists of the era.

of print and nonprint sources make this work an ideal reference
source for students and general readers being introduced to the
philosophies, works, and artists of the era.
