In an age of sweeping revolution and change, the heart of a continent torn by hysteria and madness ventured out of the darkness of the city to return to the wilds of nature. Individuality, nature, and emotion dominated the minds of restless individuals weary of logic, reason, science, and industry. The spirit of an era awoke, fueled with passion and rebellion, and quickly spread to all aspects of culture to unveil everything contrary to the Enlightenment-- the disturbing, the supernatural, the beautiful, and the wild. Romanticism, intense and rebellious, overthrew all conventions; convention had never been defied in such a manner before, nor would it ever be restored again. This website specifies how far Romanticism pervaded culture and continent; it shows how lasting works of Romantic art, literature, and music representative of the great era are only variations on a theme.
