Romantic poetry
Romantic imagination
18th 19th century
Expression to emotional and individual feelings
imagination plays an important role
Figure of the child
To a romantic a child was purer than an adult
The individual
The romanrics saw him essentialy in a solitary state

The nature
As a living force
Is a main source of inspiration
Is a stimulus to thought
