Humble and rustic life was generally chosen because in that conditions of life our elementary feelings coexist in a state of greater simplicity and consequently,  more forcibly communicated  because in that condition the passions of men  are incorporated with the beautiful and permanent forms of nature. ]]> 2018-10-19 13:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/294826618 Simple language, used by poets, was understood by everybody. delma26 https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/294830615 The language of these man has been adopted (purified indeed from what appear to be its real defects, from all lasting and rational causes of dislike or disgust) because such men hourly communicate with the best objects from which the best part of language is originally derived; and because, from their rank in society and the sameness and narrow circle of their intercourse, being less under the influence of social vanity, they  
convey their feelings in simple and unelaborated expression.

The poet is also able to see beyond the reality, so he has the power of imagination. This aspect is present in the poem Daffodils in the expression "inward eye".

The main characteristics of Romanticism are intensity and imagination. These themes recur in Romantic writings and include the tension between innocence and experience, man and nature, language and expression. 
Romantic poets look back to Middle Ages, because in that period their heritage and cultural identity were born, for example their language. 
Now even if we're in the age of rationalism, poets look back and use the Middle Ages as a powerful source for their works.
There's a relation between the Sublime and the Medieval. The Sublime implies a like of darkness and the Middle Ages are also called "Dark Ages", because they weren't illuminated by the light of rationalism.
Romantic poetry contrast with neoclassical poetry, which was the product of intellect and reason, while romantic poetry is more the product of emotion. 
In the Preface of the Lirical Ballads, Wordsworth explain the meaning of "poetry". For him, poetry is a spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity.
As we can see, in this video, Roberto Benigni talks about poetry. One of the most important aspect which he underlines is that "la poesia non è fuori, ma dentro". He conferms the idea of Wordsworth that poetry is the ricollection of emotions. ]]> 2018-10-19 14:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/294857566 What do we mean with "romanticism"? delma26 https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/298718172 The Romantic era was an artistic, literary, musical and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th century.
It was partly a reaction to the industrial revolution and to the scientific rationalization of nature.
The movement was rooted in the German sturm und drang movement, which preferred emotions to the rationalism of the Enlightnment.]]> 2018-10-30 19:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/298718172 delma26 https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/298738565 2018-10-30 20:12:05 UTC https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/298738565 delma26 https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/298742088 2018-10-30 20:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/298742088 delma26 https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/298766805 2018-10-30 21:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/298766805 delma26 https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/298769212 Delia, Chiara, Giorgia, Sofia, Grazia]]> 2018-10-30 21:57:23 UTC https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/298769212 delma26 https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/298769905 It's considered the Manifesto because all the main characteristic of the Romanticism are here expressed. ]]> 2018-10-30 22:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/298769905 delma26 https://padlet.com/delma26/william/wish/298770796  Some of the main characteristics of Romantic literature include a focus on the writer or narrator’s emotions and inner world; celebration of nature, beauty, and imagination; rejection of industrialization,
