CONCLUSION
Romanticism was an artistic, literary, and intellectual movement that originated in Europe as a rejection of the precepts of order, calm, harmony, balance, idealization, and rationality that typified Classicism in general and late 18th-century Neoclassicism in particular. It was also to some extent a reaction against the Enlightenment and against 18th-century rationalism and physical materialism in general. Romanticism emphasized the individual, the subjective, the irrational, the imaginative, the personal, the spontaneous, the emotional, the visionary, and the transcendental.
During this period emerged greatest novelists, such as Jane Austen (with her country house novels or comedies of manners) and Walter Scott (known by his prodigious memory); and poets such as William Blake (with his eidetic imagery), Wordsworth (with his special ability to make ordinary things seem wonderful), Coleridge (who could make mysterious events acceptable to readers' mind), Keats (with his rich and sensual poetry), Shelley (who wanted humans to be free), and Lord Byron (whose poems are full of contradictions, humour and bitterness).
