Romanticism

Romantic: "literature depicting emotional matter in an imaginative form"

Romanticism came about around the 1750's as a revolt against the scientific rationalization of nature and is very emotional and embracing of nature to an extreme extent.

The themes: deepened appreciation of nature, extreme emotion over reason, folk culture that is exotic, mysterious, and even satanic.

Romantic poems often use extreme imagery to imagin they are away from society/the city. Authors commonly use sublime ideas or words to express the awwwww of nature. Most poems take something completly normal and turn it into the center of all things beautiful or something along the lines of that.
