Finding paragraph #1

Pargraph: What is American Romanticsism?

       American Romanticism refers to a set of principles that belong to a period of cultural history often marked by experimentations, shifting values, and radical new social roles. American Romanticism is a movement of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that marked the reaction in literature, philosophy, art, religion, and politics from the neoclassicism and formal orthodoxy of the preceding period Romanticism has very little to do with things popularly thought of as "romantic," although love may occasionally be the subject of Romantic art. Rather, it is an international artistic and philosophical movement that redefined the fundamental ways in which people in Western cultures thought about themselves and about their world. Quote: “It is foolish to pretend that one is fully recovered from a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar.” - Henry Wadsworth
