If the Enlightenment was a movement which started among the elite and spread through society to pose its influence, Romanticism was widespread both in its origins and influence. Through the transformation of the basic arts such as poetry, the novel and drama, there has never been such an intellectual/artistic movement that has had such popularity ever since the end of the Middle Ages. At the time, people's fears, hopes and aspirations were the key elements that drove this literary movement to greatness. Knowingly, the Romantic Period was the voice of revolution in the late 1800's, early 1900's. Indeed, many famous writers such as John Keats, Mary Shelly, Lord Byron and Emily Brontë were recognized amongst the citizens for their exquisite work

The period of Romanticism, occurring between the years 1800 and 1860, left a significant impact on not only the literature of that time, but the literature of today as well. Prior to romantic writings, the world focused on society and logic. Romanticism allowed people to start valuing individualism and to appeal to emotional responses. This new way of thinking brought new literary styles, themes, and genres that were never explored before and are still found today. The literature of Romanticism allowed people to escape the harshness of reality and enter a different world.

Irving, Poe, and Hawthorne were arguably some of the most popular writers of the 19th century (Dincer 223; Lauter 2505). All three of them are known for their short essays and their advocacy to make writing a full-fledged and legitimate profession. Their writings show that they were hugely influenced by the Romantic Movement (romanticism); ‘a movement in art, literature, music, philosophy, politics and culture towards focusing on the individual, the subjective, and the spontaneous’ (Dincer 218). Romanticist writing “encouraged contemplation and self-awareness, direct contact with nature, and a focus on and an exploration of inner feelings” (Dincer 223). Yet, they had distinct writing style, focus, and theme. While Irving was more of a light romantic writer, a writing style characterized by optimism, Poe and Hawthorne are widely considered dark romantic Authors whose writings were characterized by pessimism that sees the world as full of dark, evil, suffering, horror, and mystery. While Irving’s writing focused more on satire and humor, Poe & Hawthorne’s writing was more about evil, crime, sin, and mystery. Moreover, Irving seem to be nostalgic aristocrat with huge ‘interest in the landscape, folklore, and the past’ (2506), whereas Poe and Hawthorne had a contrary view of the past (Liptak).

Writers prominent in the latter half of the eighteenth century, and first decades of the nineteenth, were Romantic. Values held by these individuals include an ardent love of nature, pursuit of one’s true self, and embracement of imagination. Critics argue because of these values, the Romantics were mere escapists. American writer Thomas Wolfe describes the Romantic viewpoint as one concerned with,“not the desire to escape life, but the desire to prevent life from escaping you”. Romantic figures like Wordsworth, Wollstonecraft, and Shelley attempted to prevent life from escaping them through close observation of the natural world, and dedication to transformative societal change.

Romanticism was a literacy movement that started during the late 18th century in Germany. It came about as a reaction against rationalism. Romantic characteristics opposed those of classicism. These new ideas spread to America and highly influenced the popular writers of that time. The Romantic Movement went beyond rational, chronological and artistic boundaries. Humor and fiction became a large aspect of this new style of literature. “Rip Van Winkle”, “The Devil and Tom Walker” and “Rappaccini’s Daughter” express Romanticism through their authors’ use of stereotypical characters.

The literary movement spread to almost every country in the United States, Europe, and Latin America and it was, “…associated with the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries” (Paddock). Romanticism essentially focuses on branching out from the norm and rebelling from what is “right.” Not to mention, it stressing the individual as opposed to society. Commiserating inner struggles, strong passions, ideas, moods, and

Wordsworth’s poetry lectures on nature while Keats’ poetry playfully frolics in the meadow. “The Eve of St. Agnes” stimulates intensity and personal connection because the fragrances, flavors, and feel of the scene come alive. The night is “honeyed,” the fair virgins are “lilly white” (VI), and the air resounds with “timbrels” and “faery fancy” (VIII). Madeline admires the “languid moon” and her interests spring to life as a “full-blown rose” (528). Objects in nature represent human characteristics. Renaissance folklore inspires the lines: “While legioned faeries paced the coverlet/And pale enchantment held her sleepy-eyed” (XIX). Mystic revelry and description allows the reader to feel apart of Keats’ poem.

The Romantic Period in American Literature brought the country some of its most prominent and renowned writers to date, such as Edgar Allen Poe, Emily Dickinson, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, among others. Lesser known names include some of those who Nathaniel Hawthorne infamously labeled, “mobs of scribbling women”, despite their wide popularity during the time period who wrote pieces referred to as “sentimental novels”. There is a distinct contrast between the styles of writing employed by writers such as Poe and Hawthorne, and the subject matter in sentimental novels, that juxtapose together to form the noteworthy period of literature known as the Romantic Period.

Romanticism took place in the early 1800's, it focused on the evolution and the effects nature has upon the universe. This time period helped grasp imagination, emotions, symbolism, and focus on the individual of one's self. I will be evaluating the authors, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne to demonstrate how their works relate to the time era of the 18th century.

The Romantic Era began in the late eighteenth century and lasted through out the middle of the nineteenth century. This was a time when many of the greatest writers began their literary journey. Women in particular created some of the best novels and poems during this period, for example Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein (1818) and Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice (1813) during the Romantic Era. Each of those books has been and will continue to be studied by students around the world. All of this was in response to the Enlightenment and the Industrial Era. “Romanticism was, above all, an experimental project of self and social quest, a quest for intense experiences that were felt deeply, a quest for connection, a quest for transcendence,

Literary Romanticism was a literary movement that started in Europe toward the late 1700’s and reached America in the early 19th century just in time for its peak years. Originally sparked by the Industrial Revolution, it was a response to the political and social conditions of the time as well as a challenge to the new type of scientific exploration and rationalization of everyday life. Writing that was grand and inspired great feeling and awe marked the movement. According to the great Romantic author and poet William Wordsworth, the writing process for works of this time should start with “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings, which the poet then recollects in tranquility, evoking thereby a new but corresponding emotion the author can then mould into art” (Wordsworth 2). Notable works of this period were Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven, and William Wordsworth’s The Prelude. Perhaps the most well known of all Romantic literature is Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, a novel well known for its quality and Romantic techniques. Through careful analysis and careful examination of the qualities it becomes evident why this novel is a masterpiece of the Romantic Movement.

Through the late 1700s and early 1800s, the period of Romanticism blossomed. “Romanticism” very loosely describes the era in which modern culture began to take shape. During the Romantic era, many advancements were made in all aspects of people’s lives and cultures. One aspect in particular has held great value even to this day. That aspect being the expansive amount of literature created during the era. The era of Romanticism had its name for a reason. It can be greatly attributed to the romantic style or genre of literature that defined the period. Romantic writers wove many tales of admiration, longing, and aspirations. They were fantastical, in a sense, and almost the antithesis of realism, even. Amidst the great breadth of literature

‘Romanticism’ is a term applied to different authors in varying degrees. This essay seeks to compare and contrast two American authors, namely Ralph Waldo Emerson and Edgar Allan Poe with respect to ‘Romanticism’ using only selected passages of their writings. Although, they wrote in different genres, it is evident that the message in their writings has far more striking similarities than differences. Whilst, they are still celebrated today as two of Americas’ renowned authors of all time, critics are nevertheless skeptical.

Romanticism was a creative, artistic, melodic and scholarly development that began in Europe toward the finish of the eighteenth century. Mostly a response to the Industrial Revolution, the Enlightenment and the scientific justification of nature, it was portrayed by its accentuation on feeling and independence and also glorification of all the past and nature, leaning toward the medieval instead of the traditional. Romanticism doled out a high incentive to the accomplishments of "gallant" individualists and specialists, whose cases, it kept up, would raise the nature of society. It advanced the individual creative energy as a basic specialist permitted of opportunity from established ideas of frame in craftsmanship. In literature, the clique of "sensibility" with its accentuation on ladies and youngsters, the confinement of the craftsman or storyteller, and regard for nature. Romanticism tended to see parody as something unworthy of genuine consideration, a bias still powerful today. the code was creative ability over reason, feeling over rationale, lastly instinct over science. These new ways disheartened and didn't endure the more great method for writing. Another angle in romanticistic works, most circumstances associated with the nature feel, was the look on country life as being just about a sentimental despairing. This was detecting that change was imminent, and the lifestyle they had been adjusted to was being jeopardized. In the music, the tune gets the best
