Romanticism was a movement originating in the mid 19th century, possibly as a reaction to the age of reason brought on by the Enlightenment. Its adherents, which included such fine English poets as Keats and Shelley, tended towards a gentle sort of pantheistic paganism. The Romantics loved the natural world, felt it to be full of wonders both natural and supernatural, and were sad to see those wonders disappearing around them. Many goths consider themselves modern romantics.
