Solution

European romanticism was an artistic and literary movement in Europe that emerged during the first half of the nineteenth century.

The movement developed as a reaction to the industrial revolution and the scientific rationalization of nature.

The main features of the movement were that it emphasised the emotional aspect of human nature as opposed to the rational aspect.

It focused on having an emotional experience of the beauty and wonder of nature.

It considered folk art and ancient customs as being worthy of respect as opposed to the rational school of thought which viewed such ancient norms as primitive.
