Romanticism - term loosely applied to literary and artistic movements of the late 18th and 19th cent. Characteristics of Romanticism Resulting in part from the libertarian and egalitarian ideals of the French Revolution, the romantic movements had in common only a revolt against the prescribed rules of classicism. The basic aims of romanticism were various: a return to nature and to belief in the goodness of humanity; the rediscovery of the artist as a supremely individual creator; the development of nationalistic pride; and the exaltation of the senses and emotions over reason and intellect. In addition, romanticism was a philosophical revolt against rationalism. Romanticism in Literature England Although in literature romantic elements were known much earlier, as in the Elizabethan dramas, many critics now date English literary romanticism from the publication of Wordsworth and Coleridge 's Lyrical Ballads (1798). In the preface to the second edition of that influential work (1800), Wordsworth stated his belief that poetry results from "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings," and pressed for the use of natural everyday diction in literary works. Coleridge emphasized the importance of the poet's imagination and discounted adherence to arbitrary literary rules. Such English romantic poets as Byron, Shelley, Robert Burns, Keats, Robert Southey, and William Cowper often focused on the individual self, on the poet's personal reaction to life. This emphasis can also be found in such prose works as the essays of Charles Lamb and William Hazlitt and in Thomas De Quincey 's autobiographical Confessions of an English Opium Eater (1822). The interest of romantics in the medieval period as a time of mystery, adventure, and aspiration is evidenced in the Gothic romance and in the historical novels of Sir Walter Scott.
When Dresden lost its significance as the spiritual centre of Germany during the 1830s, the Norwegian artists following J C Dahl found their new centre in Düsseldorf. This generation, ‘the Düsseldorfers’, made painting accessible to the Norwegian public and their work became known in Norwegian tradition as National Romanticism. This era is irrevocably linked to the work of Adolph Tiedeman (1814- 1876) and Hans Gude (1825-1903), who together created the painting which even today stands as a symbol of Norwegianness – Brudeferden i Hardanger (‘Bridal Voyage in Hardanger’). August Cappelen (1827-1852), who painted wildlife scenery in the Telemark region, and Lars Hertervig (1830-1902), who created a more personal interpretation of the scenery, are other examples of Norwegian Romanticist painters educated in Düsseldorf. Other noteworthy figures from this era include Amaldus Nielsen (1838-1932), Olaf Isaachsen (1835-1893) and Carls Sundt-Hansen (1841-1907). The Romanticist emphasis remained focused on the farmer, even in paintings of western Norway and the coastline, depicting them working the fields in traditional costume.
