Romance is a cultural movement that throws its bases in the last decade of the 18th century and stands

against the
neoclassicism to the development of ideas and artistic and literary poetic explanation: 1) the romance is based more
on the ability of the poet, artist , musician and so on, to be able to propose (moving away from classical patterns) in
their emotions work, imagination, insight and relationship with nature that they are transmitted to the reader, the
viewer listener etc. 2) neoclassicism is based on a knowledge purely that draws on classical themes and classical
structures showing the immobility in the works and the artist's technical or poet. this despite being completely
different cultural currents have come together in one point: both movements allow the artist or poet to escape from
the reality of that period. romantic define the term exoticism expulsion from the reality of their time and the
approach in utopian places, precisely, exotic. English romanticism goes by the French Revolution of 1789 to the
coronation of Queen Victoria in 1837 which will rule until 1901. This cultural movement rejects the Enlightenment
ideologies or emphasizing objectivity and reason. one of the authors of the Romantic period we can remember
William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge initially; Lord Byron, Percy Shelley and John Keats last; These
writers do not formed the movement, but they shared a common thought or to give voice to a period of political and
cultural social changes. then the romance brings out the emotion, individualism, nostalgia, introspection that led to a
new appreciation of the role of man in the universe. Those who could learn in totality the essence of Romantic
thought were those who lived in contact with nature or the farmers, so this cultural trend also assumes a moral role
in society as it is accessible also simple people and the lives that they held, what was opposed to industrialization in
the cities. emerges a love of desolation, to the ruins as reported the man to a better period away from the reality of
that time. He was revalued Enlightenment thought on the nature stating that the man with his own could have
control of it, in fact romantic, claim that nature is the manifestation of divine power on earth. Thanks so romantic
imagination can express their emotions and be happy. To a romantic, a child was purer than an adult because he was
unspolit by civilization. his uncorrupted sensibility meant he was even closer to god and the sources of creation,
therefore childhood was a state to be admired and cultivated. One of the most important points of Romanticism is
the 'emphasis on the individual. Man must be introspective, exalt these atypical characters and rebels violating any
kind of constraint, and stillness rule imposed in society built on the principle of reason. You get to be considered one
of the most important representatives of this school of thought: Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Rousseau encouraged the
idea that the conventions of civilisation represented intolerable restrictions on the individual personality and
produced every kind of corruption and evil. it followed that natural behaviour, that is to say, unrestrained and
impulsive, was good. One of the key points is the worship of 'exotic; man living in a society that created illusions and
delusions , he decides to move away from the reality in which they live and travel with the imagination in ancient
times and in space. Great importance, for the Romantics, is given to the power of nature that is admired as enables
one to relate to it and live in harmony. The heart was a source of knowledge - the location of ideas 'felt' as sensations
rather than thoughts. men could learn more through intuition and feelings, by learning to trust their instinct. And the
interest in the humble and uncultured people is an example of how the Romantics reinterpreted the irrational aspect
of reality - the imagination. As mentioned, the Romantics, with the exotic cult, they move away from actually
reaching peaceful societies in finding inner life a moment of relief; This also brings them back to an ancient culture, in
fact, a work manifesto of English Romanticism are the 'Lyrical Ballads' composed in 1798, which were the result of
collaboration of two Romantic poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge that reflect the medieval art.
the themes that were treated were divided Wordsworth had the task of addressing issues that concerned the beauty
of nature and the simple that could generate interest from the reader; Coleridge should have dealt more imaginary
themes like yourself for example utopian visions, supernatural themes, mysterious and exotic.Wordsworth moves
away from the poetry of the 18th century and then by what he calls 'poetic diction' that was not accessible to
everyone, and approaches a kind of simpler language and in texts that narrate everyday events or incidents of simple
people. with this Wordsworth seeks to spread a message that encourages ordinary people to express, despite their
rustic life and low, their passions. Therefore the poet is a man among men, writing about what interest mankind.
