Romanticism in Literature
In literature, romanticism was dominated by
the English poets William Wordsworth
(1770-1850) and Samuel Taylor Coleridge
(1772-1834).
In 1798 Coleridge and Wordsworth
published a joint volume of poetry called
Lyrical Ballads and in doing so launched the
English Romantic Movement.
Wordsworth felt the imagination could take the experiences of everyday men
and women and turn them into art.
By thus highlighting the ordinary, Wordsworth points to the deeper spirit that
lives in all things; the problem, as he sees it, is that human habit has made these
wonders too familiar.
Unlike Coleridge, who saw the imagination as the living power and prime
agent of all human perception, Wordsworth felt language and poetry were
secondary to the actual experiences of human beings. In other words, it was the
object of poetry to uncover these realities, not to pose as realities themselves.
Wordsworth defends the romantic poets reliance on personal feelings and, like
Rousseau, claims that human beings have become too distant from their nature.
Civilization has stolen their insight into nature away. In other words, the overstimulation of the senses (even in an age without video games) keeps men and
women from appreciating the quiet beauty of nature, and with it the
opportunity for meditative thought and introspection.

Romanticism was idealistic.
For the romantics, nature was how the spirit was revealed
to humankind.
The romantic philosophers believed in the metaphysical or
spiritual nature of reality.
They thought that a higher reality existed behind the
appearance of things in the physical world.
Nature appeared to people as a material reality; however,
because it evoked such strong feelings in humankind, it
revealed itself as containing a higher, spiritual truth.
Romantic artists tried to capture in their art the same
feelings nature inspired in them.
