ROMANTICISM
Romanticism literature in poetry and how it effects everyday society. "I have no quarrel, it is scarcely necessary to add, either with the man of science or the romanticist when they keep in their proper place." (Gleckner 33). Some people are still unclear of the exact boundaries in which literature is considered Romanticism, but few common relations seem to be apparent in all or most pieces."The Romantic believes that the particular qualities which make-up humanness - mind, purpose, consciousness, will, personality are unique in known phylogeny, and are so far at variance with the physical conditions in which man exists that they are irrelevant to the general structure of physical reality."(Gleckner 123). As the drunken era of over-doped writers started their 1770's few thought with such creativeness as Irving's "Rip Van Winkle". People became obsessed by the idea of freedom, and the writers became rebels, perpetually in revolt against conservative society, yearning after a spiritual independence that the current age denied them. "Hero of American Romanticism: male, young, innocence, love of nature, distrust to town life."(Arpin 120). Romanticism logic might have been considered a waste of laboring effort to concei
People first affected by the beliefs of the Romanticism poets soon saw life with a new concept of hope and confrontation. "Romantic sensibility sough to rise above ' dull realities' to a realm of higher truth."(Arpin 111). Romantic poets of the time were called for a need to make an ill stable society, stable, and reprimand sorts of expression seen as common place to their parents. Soon the romantic poets realized the life of a Romanticist lived the pain of emotions which separated them from the common man's organized lifestyle. "The general romantic dissatisfication with the organization of society was often channeled into specific criticism of urban society." (Funk 1). The emotion of the time had a definite need for expression. The romantic theory of form is at once expressive from which it arises. " Everything which does not derive from the experience, everything which does not help to express the idea, everything ornamental, gratuitous, and superfluous, must be rigorously prescribed." (Gleckner 213). That is why the sphere of speech the romantics rejected the mechanical conventions of poetic diction dear to their predecessors, with its mythological allegories, and pathetic fallacies. They advocate a flexibility which allows meter and rhythm to medel themselves directly on the emotion which is their psychological origin. But they add that the rhythm must be controlled, that the meter must have regularity of its own, because the original emotion issues forth from an intuition of order, harmony, and unity. The poets are able to control the society of their age by their individual meter and rhythm."If in short you conceive of the universe as a perfectly ordered machine, you will assume that any imperfections you may notice are really things you do not understand." (Gleckner 67). Benton, William. "American Literature." Britannica. 1957 ed. Fun
