Romanticism

Romanticism was an artistic, literary, and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th century and in most areas was at its peak in the approximate period from 1800 to 1850. It was partly a reaction to the Industrial Revolution as well as a rebellion against  aristocratic social and political norms of the Age of Enlightenment and a reaction against the scientific rationalization of nature.It was embodied most strongly in the visual arts, music, and literature, but had more of an impact on historiography, education and the natural sciences. It had complex effects on politics. Romanticism was also closely associated with liberalism and radicalism but had a significant long term effect on nationalism.
