Romanticism has been defined as "a movement in Art, Music, and Literature originating in Europe in the late 18th century characterized by a strong interest in Nature, a revolt against the Neoclassic adherence to rules, form and traditions, and exalting of the feelings and senses and a marked preference for individualism, lyricism, and the supernatural and strange."...Standard College Dictionary.
