romanticisms
Dreamy idealistic beliefs
Romanticisms are instances of romantic sentiment, idealization, or fanciful thinking.
The word usually carries a skeptical edge—someone cataloguing another's romanticisms is noting their tendency toward the impractical or sentimental: His romanticisms about rural life didn't survive the first winter.
Less commonly, it refers to multiple artistic or literary movements sharing romantic characteristics.
