Romanticism is an arts movement that began in the late eighteenth century (Ferber 1). This art period gives individuals room for creativity; consequently, inspiration depends on the artist. The two categories of Romanticism are Traditional Romanticism and evolutionary Romanticism. Romanticism earns itself unique characteristics because it does not follow neoclassic rules (Gunderson 11). Romanticism allows individuals to mix genres and verses. Love is the main theme in Romanticism. Another characteristic is that works of art are subject to the authors feelings (Duiker and Jackson 601). Romanticism involves mysterious deeds such as miracles, hallucinations and witchcraft activities. The art movement encourages individuals to come up with imaginary art instead of clinging to aspects of their daily lives. It involves art inspired by nature. Romanticism is evident in the poem ‘The Tables Turned’ by William Wordsworth and ‘She Walks in Beauty’ by George Gordon Byrona.
Romanticism encourages individuals to get inspiration from natural occurrences. The art movement makes individuals think beyond daily aspects. ‘The Tables Turned’ by William Wordsworth emphasizes the significance of nature (Patra and Amar 66). The poet urges readers to value nature because it offers more knowledge than books. The title of the poem suggests Romanticism because it implies that the content is different from what everyone thinks.
‘She Walks in Beauty’ by George Gordon Byrona also has characteristics of Romanticism. George compares the beauty of the subject to that of the night because he thinks nature is beautiful (Flesch 349). Romanticism is about nature and its phenomenon; therefore, the poem belongs to the art movement. Through comparison to nature, the poet brings out the theme of love, which is a characteristic of Romanticism.
Romanticism allows individuals to use their own inspirations to come up with creative pieces. Romanticism is an expression of love for nature and its occurrences. Romantic art pieces have diverse variations because they depend on the mood of the artist.
