Personal opinion about the project
The Romanticism has been a cultural movement which studied by
the critics and historians for his literary productions, which
are very extended.
It emerged in the XVIII century for the strange revolt
between the clasicism and the romanticism in the "STURM UND
DRAG" from Germany.
For this reason it extended at the rest of Europe, mainly in
Germany, England and Italy.
The romanticism writers focus on sensibility and spirituality
basicly. The english Romanticism is a transisiton movement that
shows the reality of things, the real essence of them, and you
have to use your senses in order to find such real things. They
looked for the individual, for the particular things, for the
concret, as we have said before, for the authentic essences of
the things.
The plays are full of sensuality, mistery and they have written
with a nostalgic point of view, and the world is analized from
the diferent an personals manners.
In the romanticism the art is truth because the beauty is real,
it is true.
Nowadays the literature and the poetry are considered to be the
most important pitches in english romanticism .
In poetry we stand out, mainly, to Lord Byron as the main
character of this genere.
We are displayed to Wordsworth and Coleridge, who are called
" lake poets".They are both worried for the same
things. In their plays appear our own "I" and the
countrysides show to us the estate of the soul. The nature is a
intimate projection.
William Blake is another figure of this period. He wrote about
the vision of the world, the mind and the provocation. In Blake
everithing is impregnated of religion through symbols. Another
poet who is very similar to Blake is Shelley. He talks quite
often, about God and about the moral salvation of men by his own
effort.
Keats was the most modern poet within the Romanticism movement.
All his production hide to us the reality and the beauty of our
rounds.
The most important novelist are Mary Shelley, she wrote the
famous novel of terror "Frankestein".
Sir Walter Scott was the most succesful, he talks about scotish
history, popular balads and about german Romanticism.
Jane Austen was a woman that her novels were the oldest exemples
of the english costumbrist novels. She wrote with irony the
descriptions of the characters and the life of the upper society.
