The term "Romanticism" was coined because it originated in European regions of the "Romance Languages," namely French, Spanish and Italian. Novelist [[Victor Hugo]] led this movement in [[Europe]] with his works readable by the common man. German and British Romanticism followed soon after. Other countries such as [[America]] and [[Canada]] also had Romantic art movements.
