{"product_id":"the-romantic-movement-making-of-europe","title":"The Romantic Movement (Making of Europe)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Romantic Movement in Europe was both a revolt and a revival  a philosophy of life as well as of art. In the earliest expressions of romantic theory by Rousseau and Diderot  it is seen as a revolt against rationalism. In Great Britain and Italy it appears as a revolt against classicism  in Spain as a revival of the tradition of the Moorish courts  and in Germany  where it excited the greatest enthusiasm  as both a revolt against rationalism and a revival of the Gothic and Germanic.  Despite the differences of aim and emphasis across Europe  Professor Cranston argues that romaticism was a European phenomenon  as universal as the Renaissance. He isolates its common features - liberty  introspection  and the importance of love; truth in the expression of feeling as much as of thought; nature seen as an object of devotion rather than scientific study; a tolerance of the grotesque coupled with an interest in the exotic  the primitive and the medieval; a concern for the value of intuition over ratiocination; and a preference for audacity over prudence.  The Romantic Movement is part of the common European heritage  and its influence is by no means at an end. The book is the first to describe its philosophy  history  and cultural and artistic manifestations  and the ways these varied across the countries of Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964419239989,"sku":"ByrdShop_0631194711","price":28.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780631194712.jpg?v=1770460470","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-romantic-movement-making-of-europe","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
