2026/5/213Romantics

frequently

shared

certain

general

characteristics:

moral

enthusiasm,

faith

in

value

of

individualism

and

a

presumption

that

the

natural

world

was

a

source

of

goodness

and

man’s

societies

a

source

of

corruption.

Romantic

values

were

prominent

in

American

politics,

art,

and

philosophy

until

the

Civil

War.

The

romantic

exaltation

of

the

individual

suited

the

nation’s

revolutionary

heritage

and

its

frontier

egalitarianism.
