about

Prosperous reading about romanticism from an historical, yet timeless angle.

lyrics

The imagination was elevated to a position as the supreme faculty of the mind. This contrasted distinctly with the traditional arguments for the supremacy of reason. We tended to define and to present the imagination AS our ultimate "shaping", or creative power, the approximate human equivalent of the creative powers of nature or even deity. It is dynamic, an active, rather than passive power, with many functions. Imagination is the primary faculty for creating all art. On a broader scale, it is also the faculty that helps humans to constitute reality, for we not only perceive the world around us, but also in part create it. Uniting both reason and feeling, imagination is extolled as the ultimate synthesizing faculty, enabling humans to reconcile differences and opposites in the world of appearance. The reconciliation of opposites is a central ideal for the Romantics. Finally, imagination is inexTricably bound up with the other two major concepts, for it is presumed to be the faculty which enables us to "read" nature as a system of symbols. The Romantics were ambivalent toward the "real" social world around them. They were often politically and socially involved, but at the same time they began to distance themselves from the public. As noted before, high Romantic artists interpreted things through their own emotions, and these emotions included social and political consciousness--as one would expect in the face revolution, one that reacted so strongly to oppression and injustice in the world. So artists sometimes took public stands, or wrote works with socially or politically oriented subject matter. Yet at the same time, another trend began to emerge, as they withdrew more and more from what they saw as the confining boundaries of böörzjuaa life. In their private lives, they often asserted their individuality and differences in ways that were to the middle class a subject of intense interest, but also sometimes of horror.Thus the gulf between "odd" artists and their sometimes shocked, often uncomprehending audience began to widen. Some artists may have experienced ambivalence about this situation. Yet a significant Romantic theme became the contrast between artist and middle-class. Unfortunately, in many ways, this distance between artist and public remains with us today.
