Key Ideas and Tendencies of Romanticism
•Privileging the imagination and the intuition over reason/rationality and formal rules
•Exploring untamed, boundless, sublime nature, unveiling hidden things
•Reveling in the mysterious, the unplumbed depths, the hidden recesses of nature and the psyche
•Concerned with false surfaces, facades (especially in social phenomena); focused on ambiguity and the need for interpretation
•Setting improbable action and actors in remote, exotic locations and times
