Romanticism  1770-1850
- Romanticism / Romantics

- Don't be fooled by the name: not just about love, love affairs

- Life philosophy influencing our thinking: It celebrates uniqueness of human beings, our emotions, feelings in a world that has increasingly become "technologised", "rationalised", "urbanised".

- Reaction to Enlightenment (emphasis on ratio) --> Romantics: emphasis on the heart, emotions, imagination

- Concerns: Industrial Revolution threatened to reduce individuals to labour resources

- Revolutions to reverse oppressive order: US Revolution 1776 (fighting the English King) / The French Revolution 1789 (beheading the aristocratic rule)

Example Romantic Poetry
William Wordsworth, ‘My heart leaps up’. 
(https://interestingliterature.com/2018/01/the-child-is-father-of-the-man-a-short-analysis-of-william-wordsworths-my-heart-leaps-up/) 

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

Romantic Poetry Analysis
I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud (William Wordsworth)
Analyse the poem:
1. Write a summary in your own words
2. What are the main literary devices?
3. Watch out for the clever trick that ‘merges’ man and nature. Can you find it?
4. Elements that are repeated and their contribution
5. Does the poem have one central idea or is there a break, introducing something new? Where? What? How?

Watch this (see PPT on IL) step-by-step analysis (13:30 minutes)

Dark Romanticism

Slide 26 - Slide

Examples Gothic and surreal: Brontë
“At this moment a light gleamed on the wall…while I gazed, it glided up to the ceiling and quivered over my head. I can now conjecture readily that this streak of light was, in all likelihood, a gleam from a lantern…but then, prepared as my mind was for horror, shaken as my nerves were by agitation, I thought the swift-darting beam was a herald of some coming vision from another world. My heart beat thick—my head grew hot; a sound filled my ears, which I deemed the rushing wings; something seemed near me; I was oppressed, suffocated; endurance, broke down; I rushed to the door and shook the lock in desperate effort.”

Slide 27 - Slide

Examples Gothic and surreal: Poe
“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.”
“The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?”
“I know not how it was—but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit. ”
