Romanticism

Romanticism is one of the most dangerous literary doctrines known to global literary life, whether in its emotional philosophy and humanitarian principles or in its literary and social effects. It is difficult to give a short definition of this complex literary doctrine.
Romanticism is a general spirit that controls the feelings and opinions of romantics. It is closely linked to history and social life. By contemplating the legacy of romantic literature, its characteristics become clear and distinct, distinguishing it completely from classical literature before and from realistic literature after.
The author chose to link these characteristics to their era by contrasting them with classicism first, then by explaining the social and philosophical reasons in which they arose, then mentioning the components of the romantic personality from a personal perspective, and then explaining the general romantic issues, such as their position on societies and their position on religion, especially on Christianity. Then the place of nature and love in their literature.
