Romantic Literature

Writers and Poets of the Romantic Movement

©Lorri Brown

Feb 7, 2008

Romantic literature focuses on nature, emotion, love and fear. Romantic writers include Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, William Wordsworth, Mary Shelly and Emily Bronte.

Just asRomantic artwas great departure from the classical style of theEnlightenment,Romantic literature branched out from the world of natural science, mathematics and logic, creating a new style of writing that focused on human emotion and expression. The most notable Romantic writers include Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Emily Bronte, Charlotte Bronte, Mary Shelly, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats.

Poetry of the era focused on love, religion, the Ancient World and nature. Novels explored both love and fear. With wars being waged all over Europe especially in France, Romanticism embraced the ideas of freedom and liberty. A typical Romantic hero would often be portrayed as a rebel against the social conventions and political tyranny. Napoleon embodies these romantic qualities in the early years of his political career. Romantic heroines, like Jane Eyre, overcame personal adversity to eventually find great happiness.

Revival of Fairy Tales

In keeping with the Romantic fascination with the past, it is no wonder that stories of days past began circulating in the early 19th Century. In Germany especially, folk lore became all the rage. The reawakening of German folklore, brought on in part by the poet, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, led to the rise of the Fairy Tale. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, better known as the Brothers Grim, collected and recorded several old folk tales from throughout Europe, publishing a book of their findings in 1812. These early “children’s tales” were filled with violence, promiscuity and characters with generally bad morals. (Did you know that Rapunzel was pregnant in that tower? Or that the wicked stepmother was Hansel and Gretel’sreal mother!) Over time the stories were made into more child friendly versions.

Gothic Horrors in Romantic Literature

Gothic horrors (not considered very romantic nowadays) were produced by some of the leading writers of the Romantic Movement. Mary Shelley, wrote her famous horror,Frankenstein, while visiting the German countryside with her writer husband. She claimed to have had vision in a dream of “the creature.”Frankenstein(which refers to the mad scientist, by the way, not the monster) illustrates the romance associated with science. Dr. Frankenstein is more tragic hero than geek in a lab coat.

Romanticism in the United States

It wasn’t long before Romantic ideas began popping up in the United States. Well know American writers including Edgar Allen Poe, Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson helped shape the literary world of the burgeoning United States.

"Remember the Time" was a popular recording for American pop and R&B singer Michael Jackson in the late winter/early spring (March) of 1992.

Released as the second single off Jackson's hit 1991 album, Dangerous, the song was a classic attempt of a concepting New Jack Swing-flavored R&B jam and with the accompanient of co-producer Teddy Riley, Jackson achieved.

The song hit #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #1 on Billboard's R&B singles chart.

As for some of his past songs, the music video for "Remember the Time" was an elaborate production. Set in ancient Egypt, it featured groundbreaking visual effects and appearances by Eddie Murphy, Iman, and Magic Johnson.

ROMANTIC LITERATURE HAS ALSO HEAVY INFLUENCED VIDEOS THAT WE SEE IN THE WORLD TODAY. MANY TIMES STORIES ARE TRANSFERRED OR MADE INTO MOVIES OR VIDEOS. ONE THAT IS SORT OF A MOVIE AND VIDEO IS THE MICHAEL JACKSON MUSIC VIDEO REMEMBER THE TIME. THIS VIDEO HAS A LOT OF ROMANTIC ELEMENTS IN IT. LIKE LOVE, MYSTERY, MAGIC, DANCE, HUMOR, DRAMA, AND SO MUCH MORE. WHAT THIS VIDEO IS TALKING ABOUT IS BASICALLY LOVE. REMEMBERING A TIME WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER AND IN LOVE, AND HOW IT WAS SO SPECIAL AND MAGICAL. ESPECIALLY THE WAY THEY FELL IN LOVE. IN THIS VIDEO IT ALSO FEATURES A LOT OF DANCE. AND THAT'S ALWAYS A CRITICAL ELEMENT IN ROMANCE. BODY LANGUAGE AND MOVEMENTS GIVES OFF A LOT OF ROMANE. THIS VIDEO IS AN EXCELT EXAMPLE OF ROMANTICISM. AND IS GOOD TO LOOK AT.

"ROMANCE" BY JOVAN PATTERSSON

ROSES CAN BE RED
VIOLETS CAN BE BLUE
MY HEART TURNS GOLDEN
EVERY TIME I SEE YOU
I THINK OF YOU
IN EVERY LITTLE STEP I TAKE
ALWAYS WANTING TO BE WITH YOU
IN EVERY LITTLE STEP I MAKE
THE WAY YOU SMILE
O WORDS I CANNOT SAY
ITS LIKE A LOVELY RAY OF SUNSHINE
THAT BRIGHTENS UP MY DAY
YOUR EYES ARE A DEEP BROWN WONDER
AND FLAWLESS IN ITS DESIGN
MAKING ME SO GLAD THAT IM YOURS
AND YOUR MINE
ITS MAGIC WHEN WE DANCE
NO MATTER NIGHT OR DAY
GLIDING GRACEFULLY ACROSS THE FLOOR
THIS MOMENT I WOULD NEVER WANT O GO AWAY
MY LOVE FOR YOU ALWAYS GROWS STRONGER AND STRONGER
AS TIME DOES PASS
NO MATTER WHETHER WERE NEAR A WARM FIRE
OR GAZING AT THE NIGHT STARS ON THE GRASS

I CANT STAND TO LEAVE YOU

PARTING IS NEVER SUCH SWEET SORROW

I LOVE EACH MOMENT WITH YOU WHETHER

ITS TODAY OR MORROW

YOUR SWEETER THAN HONEY

KINDER THAN A MOTHERS CARE

I'L LOVE YOU FROM OUR YOUNG YEARS

ALL THE WAY TO WHEN WERE GREY IN OUR EYEBROWS AND HAIR

YES ROMANCE IS OUR PART OF OUR EXISTENCE

HEAR IT WILL ALWAYS STAND BE

CAUSE FOREVER IT WILL BE THE THING

CALLED YOU AND ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ZORA AND NICKY

A LITTLE PASSAGE AND OVERVIEW FROM When Zora Met Nicky,

By	J.C. Wallington

One does not know when or where love can be found. Nor does one have control over who they will fall in love with. Nicholas (Nicky) Parker was minding his own business, certainly not looking to fall in love, when he walked into a Bible class held at his boss' home. Looking for a deeper insight into the Bible, Zora Nella Hampton Johnson decided to attend a Bible class at the home of the white woman she befriended when she visited her father's church. She noticed the good -looking Nicky, but it was the traditional hymn they sang and heartfelt prayer, that had her on her knees and her butt in the air crying out to Jesus. Nicky and Zora felt the attraction but, because of their different backgrounds, getting involved in a relationship was the last thing they thought about. Zora and Nicky by Claudia Mair Burney is a novel about a relationship damned before it could begin.

Nicky, is the son of a racist southern Baptist preacher. He was supposed to attend seminary school and follow in his father's footsteps. However, Nicky really just wanted to be a writer, but was unable to write and was working as a snack machine stocker. One Sunday, Nicky walked out of church, disenchanted with his father's teachings and organized religion.

Zora, the Black American princess, daughter of a mega chuch pastor, had everything. She graduated from Spelman college and was employed at her father's church. She drove a Lexus and lived in an apartment with designer furnishings and expensive artwork, thanks to her daddy's generosity. Zora wanted to be a painter, but this occupation was unacceptable to her father, so she unhappily channeled her artistic expressiveness to please him. One Sunday, while listening to her father's new age sermon, and wanting to hear something more traditional, Zora walked out of church. It was the following Thursday, that Zora and Nicky met.

This shows that romance can come in some many ways. This book displays that all romance are not fairy tales or wonderful stories. Romance can also deal with hurt, pain, racism, friendship, etc. Many times when dealing with romance the man and woman don't come from the same world. Several times they have different backgrounds and even ethnicity's. And they would never think that they would end up together. As with the story above many time they come from parents with opposite beliefs or who do not care for their significant other.

What I liked from this book is it shows how people can find romance when they would never expect it there. And how they feel in love in the most unusual place which is bible class. See romance is not limited it can happen anytime or anywhere. and that's the gift and beauty of it.

ROMANTIC STORIES

ROMANTIC LITERATURE IS NOT ONLY IN NOVELS. IT'S ALSO IN CLASSIC STORIES. STORIES DEALING WITH PRINCESSES LIKE SLEEPING BEAUTY, BELLE, CINDERELLA, AND THE MERMAID. OR A STORY SUCH AS BEAUTY AND THE BEAST DEALING WITH AN UGLY BEAST AND A PRINCESS WHO GROW TO LIKE AND LOVE EACH OTHER. THESE STORIES ARE PARTICULAR GOOD FOR A YOUNGER READER BUT CAN STILL TEACH THEM ABOUT ROMANCE. THINS SUCH AS PROPER TABLE MANNERS AND ETIQUETTE WHILE EATING AT A DINNER TABLE. OR HOW TO DANCE WITH A LADY. HOW TO TREAT A LADY AND HOW TO TALK TO A LADY. HOW TO DRESS. ALL OF THESE ARE HEAVY FACTORS IN ROMANCE AND QUITE VITAL. AND BY READING THESE STORIES IT GIVES THAT YOUNG KID A PERCEPTION OF WHAT ROMANCE IS TO BE LIKE. AND HOW THE CAN USE IT AT A MATURE AN OLDER AGE.
