Résumé

The Birth of Romanticism: Art and Literature in the 18th Century delves into the origins and evolution of the Romantic movement, examining how a deep cultural, intellectual, and emotional shift reshaped art, literature, and philosophy during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Emerging as a response to the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and order, Romanticism emphasized emotion, individualism, the sublime, and the power of nature as a source of inspiration and spiritual awakening.
This book explores key themes in Romanticism, including the birth of the Gothic novel, the rise of the Romantic hero, the influence of nationalism and folklore, and the rejection of classical artistic traditions. Through an analysis of seminal figures such as William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, Mary Shelley, and Friedrich Schiller, the book highlights the ways in which Romantic writers and artists sought to explore the inner workings of the human soul, the mysteries of nature, and the turbulent emotions of the individual.
The Romantic era is presented not only as a movement of artistic expression but as a period that influenced political change, intellectual revolutions, and the broader understanding of human freedom and creativity. Tracing the connections between Romantic ideals and later cultural, literary, and philosophical developments, the book illustrates how the themes of the Romantic era continue to resonate today in movements like modernism, existentialism, and popular culture.
Romanticism's legacy of challenging conventions, embracing individuality, and prioritizing personal expression laid the foundation for the ways we engage with art, culture, and society in the modern world.
