WHAT IS NATIONALISM?
Nationalism is an ideology and movement that
promotes the interests of a particular nation,
especially with the aim of gaining and maintaining
the nation’s sovereignty over its homeland. After
1848, with the coming of nationalistic ideologies, the
world opened up to the ideas of separate
nations, and the concept of nation state.
 WHAT IS
ROMANTICISM
Romanticism is a cultural moment during?the age of
revolution to develop a particular form of national
sentiment through literature, poems, paintings, etc.

The Romanticism poets tried to bring the nationalistic

feelings among the people by circulating folk ballads,
folk songs, folk dance.

Language also played an important role in arousing the

feelings of nationalism.
HOW ARE NATIONALISM AND
ROMANTICISM RELATED?
Nationalism and Romanticism are both complex, protean terms, each
carrying a huge semantic bandwidth. To some extent this is wholly
unsurprising: the two movements arose jointly in the decades around
1800, shared the turbulent political and social circumstances of that
period, and have many important actors in common. The connection
between Romanticism and nationalism was usually seen as a
situational one: the two arose simultaneously, concurrently, in one
specific part of the world at one particular historical moment, and
therefore unavoidably shared common features, interactions, and
cross-currents. Romantic nationalism is the celebration of the nation
(defined by its language, history, and cultural character) as an inspiring
ideal for artistic expression; and the instrumentalization of that
expression in ways of raising the political consciousness.
 FAMOUS ROMANTICISM ARTIST
Frédéric Sorrieu (1807- 1877)
Frédéric Sorrieu was a French engraver, printmaker, and draughtsman.
He was notable for his works testifying the liberal and nationalist
revolutions in France and in Europe. His painting for the democratic and
social republics for the rise of nationalism for Europe is an important
study material for high scholars.
Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863)
Ferdinand Victor Eugène Delacroix was a French Romantic artist
regarded from the outset of his career as the leader of the French
Romantic school.
Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803)
Johann Gottfried Herder was a German philosopher, theologian, poet,
and literary critic. He is associated with the Enlightenment, Sturm und
Drang, and Weimar Classicism.
 STRUGGLES DURING THE
ROMANTIC PERIOD
Some struggles during the romantic problem were:

1) Romanticism was the new thought, the critical idea and the creative effort
necessary to cope with the old ways of confronting experience. One of the
problems was that the Romantics were liberals and conservatives, revolutionaries
and reactionaries. Some were preoccupied with God, others were atheistic to the
core. Some began their lives as devout Catholics, lived as ardent revolutionaries
and died as staunch conservatives.

2) NOVEMBER UPRISING: The final spark which ignited Warsaw was a Russian plan
to use the Polish army to suppress France’s July Revolution and Belgian
Revolution.
Armed polish civilian forced the Russian troops to withdraw north to Warsaw.
This incident is referred to as November Night. Power in Poland was now in the
hands of the radicals united in the Towarzystwo Patriotyczne (Patriotic Society)
directed by Joachim Lelewel. On 25 January 1831, the Sejm passed the Act of
Dethronization of Nicholas I, which ended the Polish-Russian personal union and
was equivalent to a declaration of war on Russia
AFTERMATH OF ROMANTICISM & CONCLUSION

• Romanticism influenced political ideology, inviting engagement with the cause of the
poor and oppressed and with ideals of social emancipation. Romanticism
fundamentally changed the prevailing attitudes toward nature, emotion, reason and
even the individual.
• As mode of thinking, romanticism revolutionized literature, religion and philosophy. It
questioned the settled way of thinking which had widely spread with the age of
Enlightenment : the age that gave priority to reason, and preference to ideas.
• During the romantic period, the orchestra had become a great force due to its
increasing size including the following: woodwind - flutes and piccolo, oboes and
clarinets, bassoon and double bassoons.
• Maria Elizabeth Robinson situates it in terms of a Romantic-period idealization of the
mother. It argues that for authors who were mothers, maternal imagery functioned both
to validate and justify their writing.
