Romanticism was "an artistic and intellectual movement originating in Europe in the late 18^th century" (The American heritage dictionary). It was characterized by a discriminating awareness in character and stressing on a person expression of emotion and imagination. "Romanticism has very little to do with things popularly thought of as romantic Rather, it is an international artistic and philosophical movement that redefined the fundamental ways in which people in Western cultures thought about themselves and about their world". (Romanticism, ¶1)Romanticism came about as a response from classical thoughts and ideas. It emphasized on emotions and imaginations. Romanticism as an art was practical to people on deeper and different level than art-work had in the past. It had to do with a transformed look at nature and mankind's rapport with it (Dan, ¶2). Imagination is the primary facility for creating all art.  It is one of the concepts of Romanticism. It was reputed to a position as the ultimate faculty of the mind. The Romantics defined and presented the imagination as our definitive shaping or creative power, as the ballpark human comparable to the creative powers of nature or even divinity (Romanticism, ¶4). Nature also meant many things to the Romantics and it was often presented as itself a work of art, constructed by a celestial imagination, in symbolic language (¶5). In addition, Symbolism and myth were given great importance in the Romantic conception of art as they were the human artistic comparable to nature's symbolic language (¶6).  Finally, it should be noted that the radical energy underlying the Romantic Movement affected not just literature, but all of the arts, this include genres like music, painting, sculpture and architecture. Its reach was also geographically noteworthy, spreading far and wide across the whole globe.
