'''Romanticism''' refers to both a philosophical belief as well as the major artistic, musical and literary movement that this belief is based on. This movement originated in the late 18th century, emphasizing inspiration, subjectivity, expressed thoughts, feelings, nature and the primacy of the individual. Its philosophical beliefs are quite conservative, it values [[creativity]] and imagination. As well as is skeptical of human [[reason]], as well as rejecting [[statism]]. Its main goal is to find the Absolute, and is guided by [[passion]]. Also, its main approach is that emotions and feelings are the key to the understanding of a thing. <ref>https://aquestionersjourney.wordpress.com/2018/10/12/how-does-romanticism-fit-in-with-the-rest-of-philosophy/</ref>

The term "Romanticism" was coined because it originated in European regions of the "Romance Languages", namely French, Spanish and Italian. German and British Romanticism followed soon after. Other countries such as [[America]] and [[Canada]] also had Romantic art movements. Romanticism is contrasted with [[Neoclassical|Neo-Classicism]], a movement that preceded it.

Literary romanticism was characterized by a series of details. It evoked the past heavily and put a great emphasis on women and children, mostly because of their purity. It wasn't associated to carnal love, as in [[lust]], but a romantic love that was more idealistic than anything. Romanticism also had a strong nationalist sense, as can be found in Goethe's works.
