RE: Adsactly Literature - Individual in front of the world and aesthetic freedom (French Romanticism)
Romanticism is a literary, poetic and artistic movement that originated in England and Germany in the late eighteenth century and passed to France in the early nineteenth century. His name in Germany was Sturm a Drang (Storm and Passion), after the title of a play by Friedrich Maximilian von Klinger, a friend of Goethe.
Most French romantics cultivate nostalgia for the past monarchical, even feudal. They are fervent royalists and even ultra-royalists, at least in the first third of the nineteenth century
I appreciate your comment, @redouanemez. Some of the data you point out were referred to in my previous articles. I believe that, indeed, in several of the representatives of French romanticism there was some pro-monarchic tendency, but there were also anti-monarchists and revolutionaries, and there was also some tendency to realism, which is the movement that will immediately develop in France. Romanticism, like almost all aesthetic movements, is a complex and even contradictory phenomenon. Greetings.
