:pointr:Romanticism was an artistic and intellectual movement that originated in late 18th century Western Europe. In part a revolt against aristocratic, social, and political norms of the Enlightenment period and a reaction against the rationalization of nature, in art and literature it stressed strong emotion as a source of aesthetic experience, placing new emphasis on such emotions as trepidation, horror, and the awe experienced in confronting the sublimity of nature. It elevated folk art, nature and custom, as well as arguing for an epistemology based on usage and custom. It was influenced by ideas of the Enlightenment and elevated medievalism and elements of art and narrative perceived to be from the medieval period. The name "romantic" itself comes from the term "romance" which is a prose or poetic heroic narrative originating in medieval literature.

:pointr: The ideologies and events of the French Revolution are thought to have influenced the movement. Romanticism elevated the achievements of what it perceived as misunderstood heroic individuals and artists that altered society. It also legitimized the individual imagination as a critical authority which permitted freedom from classical notions of form in art. There was a strong recourse to historical and natural inevitability in the representation of its ideas.

:pointr:In a general sense, Romanticism refers to several distinct groups of artists, poets, writers, and musicians as well as political, philosophical and social thinkers and trends of the late 18th and early 19th centuries in Europe. But a precise characterization and a specific description of Romanticism have been objects of intellectual history and literary history for all of the twentieth century without any great measure of consensus emerging. Arthur Lovejoy attempted to demonstrate the difficulty of this problem in his seminal article "On The Discrimination of Romanticisms" in his Essays in the History of Ideas (1948); some scholars see romanticism as completely continuous with the present, some see it as the inaugural moment of modernity, some see it as the beginning of a tradition of resistance to the Enlightenment, and still others date it firmly in the direct aftermath of the French Revolution. Another definition comes from Charles Baudelaire: "Romanticism is precisely situated neither in choice of subject nor exact truth, but in a way of feeling."
Many intellectual historians have seen Romanticism as a key moment in the Counter-Enlightenment, or the reaction against the Age of Enlightenment. Whereas the thinkers of the Enlightenment emphasized the primacy of deductive reason, Romanticism emphasized intuition, imagination, and feeling, to a point that has led to some Romantic thinkers being accused of irrationalism.

i like romanticism, but didn't they also hate technology; which, no offense to any of the members, would mean everyone who is in this club is a hypocrite of some sort?

I don't think so. For me, The Internet in 2009 is like railway in 1944. I believe when William Turner was painting his "Rain, Steam and Speed" he was impressed with this new sort of transportation. Technology has opened new possibilities for romantics- as they could travel easier and faster, they were able to find new experiencesand new inspirations. Of course, we know that the progress of modern technology can be harmful for people, put it's purpose is good as long as people use it for their real benefits.

I suppose everyone has their own opinion. I think the main problem is that the majority of people use technology for selfish benefits and for the wrong reasons. And yes, technology does open many good possibilities but it also opens up an equal amount of bad ones as well. Not to mention, people become dependent on technology and all of these new forms of transportation are great and all but people start to expect everything in the same manner: faster and more convenient with less and less work. It makes people lazy. Sorry if my reply is a bit jumbled.

Of course, technology has it's disadvantages. Like everything on this world. Even Holy Bible can be used for bad reason. But you have no influence on people's stupidity- if they want to use somenthing for selfish benefits, they will, but it doesn't mean the technology they used is bad. The way you use something is your choice.
