Romantic period
Emotion over reason
The Romantic period was an artistic and intellectual movement spanning roughly 1780 to 1850, emphasizing emotion, individualism, and nature over Enlightenment rationalism.
In literature and music, it produced works celebrating passion, imagination, and the sublime: Wordsworth and Keats were poets of the Romantic period.
The era valued spontaneity, folk traditions, and the artist as visionary genius.
