Abstract
Romanticism, a Comprehensive term for the large number of tendencies towards change observable in European literature, art and culture in the later 18th and early 19th centuries. Although it manifested itself everywhere in the form of pronounced shift in sensibility, Romanticism was not a unified movement with a clearly agreed agenda, and its emphasis varied widely according to time, place and individual author. Intellectually it pulled away from the philosophical rationalism and neoclassicism of the Enlightenment, developing an alternative aesthetic of freedom from the ‘dead’ letter of form rules and conventions, and of ‘dead letter of formal rules and conventions and of uninhibited self expression.
